Hedgehogs generally do not require frequent baths as they are naturally clean animals. Bathing them too often can strip their skin of essential oils and lead to dryness. It is recommended to bathe a hedgehog once every 4-6 weeks or as needed if they get dirty or soiled. When bathing your hedgehog, ensure the water is lukewarm and only fill it enough to cover their legs but not deep enough for them to swim. Use a mild, unscented shampoo specifically designed for hedgehogs or oatmeal baths to avoid skin irritation. After the bath, gently dry your hedgehog with a towel or a low-heat hairdryer to prevent them from getting cold.
