Hedgehogs are considered a pest in New Zealand. You could find them anywhere at houses or properties that have a lot of vegetation. The best part of the day to see them is at night. They don't have them in Pet Shops as they are considered legally as pests. Some people particularly in country areas, do keep them as pets for their children, but they could be asked to destroy them if discovered by DOC Officials.
