My new hedgehog is really shy & scared. How do I get her used to people asap?

It isn't something that will happen overnight. It will take time and patience. Introduce Popcorn to one person initially. Do this for ever increasing periods of time. As she acclimates and accepts, add one more person. Use praise and small rewards after each session. Move slowly and speak softly around her.
