Do hedgehogs need regular nail trims?

Nail Trimming for Hedgehogs

Yes, hedgehogs do need regular nail trims to prevent their nails from becoming too long. Long nails can cause discomfort for the hedgehog and may even lead to health issues such as ingrown nails or difficulties in walking. It's recommended to trim your hedgehog's nails about once a month or as needed. You can use small pet nail clippers or human nail clippers with a safety guard to trim the tips of the nails. Be cautious not to cut too close to the quick, which is the blood vessel inside the nail, as it can cause bleeding and pain. If you're unsure about how to trim your hedgehog's nails, you can ask your veterinarian or a professional groomer for guidance.
