I didn't know about them being sold as pets anywhere but no they're all wild here, I expect some people rescue them and they just become pets but as a rule they're all wild here in the UK (we have ferrets as pets here, a lot of people use them to flush rabbits out of their warrens).

m4m, glad my little story helped, we carried the basket he was asleep on into the garden and he near enough woke straight away and headed straight under some plants, I have a feeling he might be living behind our compost bin as theres loads of worms, slugs and the like for him to feed on there, I'll get some mealworms and put them out just to see if he's still around.

Edit: Just had a quick look and we have those pygmy ones for sale here as well: http://www.hedgehogkingdom.co.uk/index.htm how cute are they?

Keep them away from the travelling community, they eat them

Roast hedgehog

Ingredients

One or more hedgehogs (failing that, any meat will do - eg a leg of lamb)
Long grass to wrap the meat in

Method

Season the meat. Wrap in the grass, lenghtways then crossways. Cook for about two hours for a 2kg joint in a pot on the barbecue. Once the meat has cooked, remove the grass covering and place the joint back on the barbecue to sear the outside. Once the meat has coloured, carve and serve

"Hedgehog should have its throat cut, be singed and gutted, trussed with a pullet, then pressed in a towel until very dry. The nroast it with cameline sauce, or in pastry with wild duck sauce. Note that if the hedghog refuses to unroll, put it in hot water, and then it will straighten itself."

Got to say since moving into my current house i have seen only 2 here in 3 years and one of them was dead. My last house was on the edge of countryside and they was a bit more common. But i dont see no where near as many as when i was a kid.
Dont see too many Gypo camps either, pheraps as there food declines they fuck off somewhere else
