Common Hedgehog Health Issues

Common Hedgehog Health Issues

Hedgehogs, like any pet, can face various health issues. Some common health problems in hedgehogs include obesity, dental issues, mites, respiratory infections, and wobbly hedgehog syndrome. Obesity can result from overfeeding or lack of exercise, leading to other health complications. Dental problems may arise from improper diet or genetics. Mites are external parasites that can cause skin irritation and hair loss. Respiratory infections are often due to poor living conditions or exposure to drafts. Wobbly hedgehog syndrome is a neurological condition that affects a hedgehog's coordination and can be progressive. Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, clean living environment, and proper handling can help prevent these health issues.
