Oh! Ours seems to have gone into hibernation in the palais de
hedgehog we
constructed for it

What does a hedgehog palace look like?

The Australian Echidna also has a spiny back and is a marsupial which
I think is pretty much unique to this region of the world. So what
family of animals does a hedgehog belong to?

=Erinaceinae from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedgehog

We occasionally get a hedgehog here in our city garden :~))
