Can I use baby shampoo on my hedgehog?

Using Baby Shampoo on Hedgehogs

It's generally not recommended to use baby shampoo on your hedgehog. While baby shampoos are formulated to be gentle, they can still contain fragrances and chemicals that may irritate a hedgehog's sensitive skin. Instead, it's best to use a shampoo specifically designed for small animals or a mild, unscented soap. Always ensure that any product you choose is safe for use on hedgehogs, and consider doing a patch test on a small area of their skin before applying it all over. Additionally, hedgehogs typically do not require frequent baths, so only bathe them when necessary, such as if they become particularly dirty or have a health issue that requires it. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid any residue that could irritate their skin.
