It's important to check your hedgehog for fleas regularly, ideally every week. Fleas can cause discomfort and health issues for your pet, so early detection is key. Look for signs of fleas like excessive scratching, hair loss, or flea dirt (small black specks that are flea feces). To check for fleas, gently stroke your hedgehog's quills and examine the skin underneath. You can also use a fine-toothed comb to help catch any fleas or flea dirt. If you notice any signs of fleas, consult with a veterinarian for appropriate treatment options. Additionally, maintaining a clean habitat and using preventive flea treatments can help keep your hedgehog flea-free.
