Most important is why you want it? There are many pets out there, is important to find one that really suit you and your wife's lifestyle.
Hedgehogs are easy to care for in terms of diet (readily available), habitat (no special equipments like heater, lightning, etc), easy to maintain, if you follow some basic guidelines posted in page 1.
You can feed them quality cat food or dog food. Insects (mealworms / crickets) occasionally
They are nocturnal, so is not a good idea to place them under direct sunlight. Provide them something to hide and sleep in.
Care for them... This depends on how commited are you lo. Some petshops just put them aside, feed them and clean their habitat only until the smell is overwhelming also consider as basic care... But if this is what you plan to do then better don't lo. Cause later they get sick, infested with mites, then you and hedgehog also susah.
You should read basic care sheet at sheet 1. Anything more specific you are not sure of, don't hesitate to post here. = ) good luck
