Hedgehogs generally do not require frequent grooming as they are meticulous self-groomers. However, you can help by providing a shallow dish of water for them to bathe in occasionally. This will help keep their quills and skin clean. Some hedgehogs enjoy a foot bath to help with dry skin or dirt buildup. If your hedgehog gets dirty, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a damp cloth to gently clean its quills. Only bathe your hedgehog if absolutely necessary, as excessive bathing can strip their skin of natural oils and cause dryness. Regularly check their nails and trim them if they get too long to prevent them from curling. Overall, grooming should be done on an as-needed basis to keep your hedgehog healthy and comfortable.
