Hedgehogs are not natural swimmers and generally do not enjoy being in water. While some hedgehogs may tolerate a shallow bath for cleaning purposes, it's important to note that they can become stressed if submerged. If you need to give your hedgehog a bath, use warm water (not hot) and ensure it's shallow enough for them to stand comfortably. Always supervise them closely to prevent any accidents. Additionally, hedgehogs should never be forced into water, as this can lead to anxiety and fear. Instead, provide them with a dry environment and ensure they have access to fresh water in a bowl for drinking. Overall, while they may not mind a quick clean-up, hedgehogs typically prefer to stay on dry land.
