Can Hedgehogs Play in Water?

Hedgehogs are not natural swimmers and do not typically enjoy being in water. While they may tolerate a shallow bath for cleaning purposes, it's important to keep the water level very low (just a few inches) to prevent any risk of drowning. Always supervise them closely during any water exposure. Additionally, hedgehogs can become stressed by water, so it’s best to limit their playtime in it. If you want to provide a fun experience, consider using a shallow dish with a little bit of water and some floating toys instead, ensuring they can easily escape if they feel uncomfortable. Remember, after any water exposure, dry your hedgehog thoroughly to prevent them from getting cold.
