When bathing your hedgehog, it's crucial to use a gentle, fragrance-free, and vet-approved shampoo. Avoid using harsh shampoos meant for other animals or humans as they can irritate your hedgehog's skin. Look for a mild, oatmeal-based or hypoallergenic shampoo specifically formulated for small animals. Always dilute the shampoo with water before applying it to your hedgehog's quills and skin. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the shampoo to prevent skin irritation. Remember to keep the shampoo away from your hedgehog's eyes and ears during the bath. After bathing, ensure your hedgehog is completely dry before returning them to their habitat.
