The four-toed hedgehog is one of the most popular species of domesticated hedgehog. This healthy hedgehog is kept at the farm for breeding by my Vet nephew.
Farm near urban area.
When encountering a predator, its standard defensive reaction is to tense up all the muscles on its back to cause its spines to stand erect, and then roll into a ball protecting its limbs and head.
