Hedgehogs are not natural swimmers and should not be placed in water. While they can paddle a bit if they find themselves in water accidentally, they are not equipped for swimming. Their quills can get waterlogged, making it difficult for them to float or move effectively. It's important to never intentionally put a hedgehog in water as it can be stressful for them and potentially dangerous.
