Do Hedgehogs Need Water to Swim?

Hedgehogs are not natural swimmers and do not require water for swimming. While they can swim if necessary, it is not a behavior they engage in regularly. In fact, exposing hedgehogs to water can be stressful for them. Instead, hedgehogs should have access to fresh water for drinking at all times. If you want to give your hedgehog a bath, it should be done carefully and only if absolutely necessary, using shallow water and ensuring they are comfortable. Always supervise your hedgehog around water to avoid any accidents.
