Using regular sand for your hedgehog's dust bath is not recommended. While hedgehogs enjoy dust baths to help keep their quills clean and to aid in skin health, regular sand can pose several risks. Regular sand can be too coarse and may irritate their skin or cause injury. Additionally, it can clump together when wet, making it difficult for your hedgehog to roll around in it. Instead, consider using chinchilla dust or a specially formulated hedgehog dust bath product that is fine and safe for them. These products are designed to be gentle on their skin and will help keep their quills and skin healthy without the risks associated with regular sand. Ensure that the dust bath is shallow and supervised to prevent your hedgehog from ingesting any dust.

Always provide a clean dust bath, and change it regularly to maintain hygiene. A good practice is to offer the dust bath a couple of times a week, depending on your hedgehog's needs and preferences.
