Hedgehogs generally do not require regular baths as part of their grooming routine. In fact, many hedgehogs can become stressed by the experience of being bathed. However, if your hedgehog gets particularly dirty or has a specific issue such as mites or a skin condition, a bath may be necessary. If you do need to give your hedgehog a bath, here are some tips: 1. Use lukewarm water: Ensure the water is warm but not hot, as hedgehogs can be sensitive to temperature. 2. Use a mild soap: If needed, use a gentle, unscented soap specifically designed for pets. 3. Keep it short: Limit the bath time to just a few minutes to reduce stress. 4. Dry thoroughly: After the bath, gently dry your hedgehog with a soft towel and keep them warm until they are fully dry. Remember, always consult with a veterinarian if you're unsure about bathing your hedgehog or if they have specific health concerns.
