What is the quick in a hedgehog's nail?

Understanding the Quick in a Hedgehog's Nail

The quick in a hedgehog's nail refers to the sensitive tissue that contains blood vessels and nerves. It is similar to the quick found in other animals' nails and is important to be aware of when trimming a hedgehog's nails. If you trim too close to the quick, it can cause pain and bleeding for your hedgehog. To avoid this, it’s recommended to trim only the sharp tips of the nails and to do so gradually. If your hedgehog’s nails are dark, you may not be able to see the quick, so it's best to err on the side of caution. If you accidentally cut the quick, you can use a styptic powder to help stop the bleeding. Regular nail trimming is essential for your hedgehog's health and comfort, as overgrown nails can lead to discomfort and difficulty walking.
