Question

How do you bathe a pet hedgehog?

Answer 1

When bathing a pet hedgehog, you should use a shallow dish or sink filled with warm water that is no deeper than the hedgehog's belly. You can add a small amount of gentle, pet-safe shampoo to the water if needed. Gently place the hedgehog in the water and use your hands to carefully wet its quills and fur, avoiding the face and ears. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and then gently towel dry the hedgehog or let it air dry in a warm area. It's important to ensure the hedgehog does not get cold during or after the bath. Be sure to only bathe your hedgehog when necessary, as they do not require frequent baths.

Answer 2

To bathe a pet hedgehog, you can fill a shallow sink or tub with warm water that’s about an inch deep. Make sure the water is not too hot or too cold, as hedgehogs prefer warm water. You can add a small amount of hedgie-safe shampoo to the water if needed. Gently place the hedgehog in the water and let it walk around and explore for a few minutes. Use a soft toothbrush or cloth to gently clean its quills and feet. Be sure to rinse all the shampoo off thoroughly. After the bath, dry your hedgehog off with a towel or use a low heat hair dryer on the cool setting. It's important to keep their quills dry to prevent skin issues.
