There is really no way to tell a hedgehogs age. I would say he is an adult already.. But thats about all you are going to get.

Doesn't it hurt when you pick him up like that? Sorry to be off topic.

No. A social hedgehog lays their quills flat and it doesn't hurt at all. An upset/scared hedgehog can hurt... However, over time you just get used to it and it doesn't hurt as bad.

To the OP's question. There is no real accurate way for anyone to determine a hedgehog's age without knowing its history. If they are still growing, or go through a quilling we can better guess as these are baby/juvenile things. But once they are adults it becomes very difficult to guess.
