They don't only scream like that when they are in pain or afraid, sometimes they do it for rather silly reasons, almost as if they are throwing a tantrum.
When i first got Barley she once screamed like that early in the morning. She was not injured or scared, in fact she looked calm and quite happy to see me. She was standing out in the open sniffing at her empty bowl. The only thing she wanted was more food... ( at that time she was eating up to 4 full bowls a day, i suspect she was possibly underfed at her previous home )
Nancy has a hedgie that screams when her cage gets re - arranged.
A hedgehog owner from a local forum that i used to frequent had a hedgehog that screamed for no apparent reason one evening. Later he realized that it might have been because he was too busy to let her have out of cage time for a couple nights and she was letting him know how she felt about it :lol:
