Do you know who are hedgehogs friends with?

Cats typically seem to quickly develop a healthy respect for the quills of a hedgehog, and keep a respectful distance. Dogs, too, are generally quite wary of the hedgehog's armor, though care must be taken with large, boisterous, or highly prey-driven dogs, who could quickly injure a hedgehog with rough play despite the quills.

Other small pets are usually not a problem, either. If your hedgehog seems stressed by encounters with any other pets (such as urinating or defecating in fear), then restrict contact until you can find a solution. And as a good rule of thumb, never let other pets harass your hedgehog when they’re in—or out of—their cage.

Safety is always the first priority any time you are introducing any animal to another. Keep in mind that hedgehogs are solitary by nature, and may not be open to forming a friendship with another pet, though they may still be able to tolerate them.
