They tend to "hide" like this when startled, and they exhale sharply as they puff out. When they are in extreme distress they will scream loudly as an extra defense mechanism but mostly they just curl up.

My hedgehog was least startled by me and my grandma, she didn't like to do much except hide and sleep though. Cute pets!

...if you looped this with the gif going forwards and backwards repeatedly, you'd have a pretty sweet gif of a hedgehog headbanging.

I love how cats and dogs have to act oddly to get their owners some karma, but hedgehogs can just act normally and be cute enough to get to the front page.

I think that's more of "get past these spiny quills, if you dare" than "you can't see me".
