Not of you use an adult hedgehog, and include the spines (about 2" long,
I'd say). When "unrolled" they are 20-25 cm long, and 10-15 cm or so
wide.  If you have oranges matching the ball that that forms I'll start
beliveving some of those emigration era postcards with 20 feet high
chickens! I'd estimate the ball to at least 15 cm diameter.

When they are relaxed they frequently allow you to pet them.
