Hedgehogs should typically have a dust bath once a week. Dust baths help to keep their quills clean and free from excess oils and dirt. You can use a special dust specifically made for hedgehogs or chinchilla dust, which is very fine and helps absorb oils effectively. When you give your hedgehog a dust bath, provide a shallow dish filled with about an inch of dust. Let your hedgehog roll around in it for about 10-15 minutes, and then gently shake off any excess dust. Make sure to monitor them during the bath to ensure they are safe and enjoying the experience! If your hedgehog seems particularly dirty or has been active, you may consider giving them an additional dust bath as needed. Always ensure that the dust is clean and fresh for the best results.
