Yes they are but please don't buy one from a pet store. Most pet stores do not get their hedgehogs from a good breeder. They usually buy them from people who breed hedgehogs way too often. This leads to genetic disorders within the blood line.
So if you do wish to buy a beautiful hedgehog, buy him or her from a reputable breeder. :)

DC Penal Code No. 1394 states that "for any physical contact between humans and hedgehogs, the human must have a hedgehog licence and be wearing special insulation gloves."
the gloves and permit may be acquired at any local hedgehog store (such as the famed "hedgy hedgehogs hut")
Good luck stroking your hedgehog.
