If your hedgehog hates baths, there are several things you can do to make the experience more pleasant for them. Firstly, ensure that the water is lukewarm, around 100-105°F (37-40°C), as water that is too cold or too hot can stress your hedgehog. Use a shallow container like a sink or a small tub with a non-slip surface to prevent slipping. Place a few mealworms or treats in the water to encourage your hedgehog to explore and associate bath time with positive experiences. You can also try placing a small towel or cloth at the bottom of the container to give your hedgehog something to grip onto. Be patient and calm during the bath, speaking softly to reassure your hedgehog. If your hedgehog continues to dislike baths, you can try spot cleaning with a damp cloth instead of full baths.
