Hedgehogs are quite diligent when it comes to grooming themselves. They use their front paws to clean their quills and body. This behavior is essential for their hygiene and comfort. Hedgehogs will often lick their quills and then use their paws to remove any dirt or debris. They may also roll in the substrate of their habitat, which helps to keep their quills clean and can also provide a source of enrichment. Additionally, hedgehogs have a unique behavior called 'self-anointing' where they produce a frothy saliva and spread it over their quills. This can serve multiple purposes, such as scent-marking or protecting their quills from parasites. Regularly providing a clean living environment and occasional baths (using warm water and a gentle pet shampoo) can help support their grooming habits.
