Dear Katerina, This may or may not be relevant since it’s moving from rodents to insectivores, but I imagine the practicalities aren’t all that different. There’s a brief description of hedgehog cooking from contemporary Morocco in the following article (I think the Haddon has a copy, or you can borrow mine if you’re interested and it’s out). Good luck getting the dissertation finished.

My material comes from urban contexts, mainly kitchens, hearths and vessels, and enough of it is burnt. I am exploring the possibility of it being purposely burnt for cooking and I am looking for any ethnographic parallel, ancient or modern, on rodent consumption/cooking. Any ideas?
