How horny are hedgehogs?

Shh...hedgehog! It always feels like a privilege to catch a glimpse of one, as it snuffles away under the garden fence.

And how do their intimate encounters even work when things are so very... spiky? Join us for this special Valentine's Day edition of the Big Questions Podcast, as we ask Dr Sophie Lund Rasmussen (aka Dr Hedgehog) "how horny are hedgehogs?"
