No, you should not use regular soap to wash your hedgehog. Regular soaps and shampoos can be harsh and irritating to their sensitive skin. Instead, if your hedgehog needs a bath, it's best to use a gentle, unscented soap specifically designed for pets or a small amount of baby shampoo that is free from harsh chemicals. Before bathing, ensure the water is lukewarm and fill a shallow basin to avoid overwhelming your hedgehog. Always rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue, as this can cause skin irritation. Additionally, hedgehogs are generally good at self-grooming, so baths should only be given when necessary, such as when they are particularly dirty or have a strong odor. Regular handling and spot cleaning can often suffice for their hygiene needs.
