IMO you shouldn't get a hedgehog. Gender and color shouldn't matter, but they obviously do to you.
Ask yourself this. On this board, you read all the cute stories about sweet, cuddly hedgehogs who like interaction with people. What are you going to do if you get one of the hedgehogs who quill at 8 weeks and hate being held? Hate interaction with humans?
Because that's always a risk. There is no guarantee that you won't get a bitey, grumpy bundle of quills who'd rather die than unball in your hand.
