I live in the UK. Hedgehogs being vicious? Not in my experience. As for rabies, here's what our health service has to say: http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Rabies/Pages/Introduction.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Rabies/Pages/Introduction.aspx > "In the UK, rabies is not found in the animal population (with the exception of bats)" As for the pictures I linked to, you're right that there were a variety of different breeds, and was interesting to know some of them came from Africa, but you can spot some of the European hedgehogs in there as well. Here's a picture showing the breed of hedgehog you would typically find in the UK (if you were lucky enough to see one): http://www.uksafari.com/jpeg3/hedgehog1.jpg http://www.uksafari.com/jpeg3/hedgehog1.jpg
