I wonder if these bodies could be hollowed out (depending on composition) and
made into habitats, for animals and plants, set to spin for gravity? Would
there be enough protection from radiation?

4% albedo. As yet, nothing is known about their surface properties,
compositions or densities, but they are presumed to be rocky objects
like the asteroids.>>
