Quills are like long, hard nails and can be up to sixteen inches in length. Hedgehogs are carnivores and like to eat snails, insects and little animals. They have thorny backs for protection. One of their biggest enemies are snakes. Baby hedgehogs become independent from their mother in three weeks. Hedgehogs hibernate in winter and search for food in the spring.
