Yes, hedgehogs can get wet, but there are important considerations to keep in mind. Hedgehogs are not natural swimmers and can become stressed if they are submerged in water. If you need to bathe your hedgehog, it is best to use a shallow dish with warm water where they can stand comfortably without being fully submerged. Make sure to use a gentle, pet-safe shampoo if necessary, and rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue that could irritate their skin. After bathing, gently towel dry your hedgehog and ensure they are kept warm, as they can easily become chilled when wet. Always supervise your hedgehog during bath time to ensure their safety and comfort. Additionally, frequent bathing is not recommended as it can strip their skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.
