Please enjoy all these hedgehogs being washed with toothbrushes
If your pet hedgehog needs a bit of extra TLC, take heart. A truly compelling experience awaits you.
Many hedgehog owners occasionally remove dirt (and poop!) from their prickly friends' quills and feet using a toothbrush. If it's done right, most hedgehogs will be cool with it -- just be sure you also use a gentle shampoo (oatmeal shampoo is a good, soothing option for dry hedgehog skin), a soft brush, and a sink filled with warm water.
Of course, you are probably like me, and do not have a pet hedgehog. You likely do not even have access to one. Instead, perhaps you just want to see videos and photos of hedgehogs taking baths.
I am more than happy to provide this for you. Please enjoy. (Note: some hedgehogs enjoyed their baths more than others.)
