Wanted to see what everyone's experience is like.

I'm thinking of getting my kids a small animal as a pet but I'd rather not settle for the regular hamster. Was thinking something more exotic like a hedgehog. Chinchillas crossed my mind as well but I want to hear what people have to say about hedgehogs first.
 
i've a friend that kept one, odd little things. spiny, shy/reclusive. that's all i can think of.
 
I love hedgehogs! I always wanted to get one when I was a kid. But I believe they are nocturnal so when the kids are up, they'll be sleeping. :(
 
J - Never had one but asked a few questions about them once on a fieldtrip. Vicious is correct, they sleep all day and are active at night, hence your children might not be able to really enjoy them.

Sugar Gliders are randomly banned from St. Paul, MN. They say that the average keeper cannot handle them and that they make a lot of noise. I just find it odd how a city can ban an animal while they are ok throughout the rest of the state.
