Do Hedgehogs Enjoy Water?

Hedgehogs are not particularly fond of water. In the wild, they tend to avoid it as they are primarily terrestrial animals. While some hedgehogs may enjoy a gentle splash or a shallow soak, most will likely feel uncomfortable or stressed when submerged. It's important to supervise any water play to ensure their safety. If you want to give your hedgehog a bath, use lukewarm water, and make sure it’s shallow enough that they can stand comfortably. Always dry them thoroughly afterward, as hedgehogs can easily become chilled. Overall, while they might tolerate water, it’s not something they naturally seek out or enjoy. Instead, focus on providing a dry and safe environment for them to thrive.
