Hi, Hedgehogs are very sensitive to environmental temperature and may behave abnormally if the temperature is out of range. Make sure the temperature in the cage is 72-80F. If his behavior has been abnormal in face of appropriate temperatures, then I would be more worried about an illness and recommend a visit to your veterinarian.
