How to give your hedgehog a bath

In this video I show how to give your hedgehog a bath. Giving a bath to your hedgehog is almost a necessity because hedgehogs aren't the best at keeping clean! Hedgehogs, over time, can learn to love baths, and sometimes will really enjoy them. My hedehogs, in this video, weren't scared of the water, but didn't really enjoy it much - but it was their first bath.

"They usually like baths" *proceeds to desperately crawl to the edge*

[@earthling1984]

Small sink. Where do you expect them to go? No matter how they move they are "crawling to the edge" as you say. Wild hedgehogs actually swim often. Pet hedgehogs often love to swim as well.

[@actuallypanda696]

My hedgie doesn’t seem to like baths , he always runs from the water and crawls up my arm to escape

[@maxdondada]

He shat in the sink to mark his disapproval

[@jayaye2139]

lol

[@Murmilone]

Mine also defecates and urinates when she gets into water.

[@maxdondada]

Murmilone Probably scared

[@brandonroberts9827]

+Panda I wonder if its the temp shock or muscles relaxing that causes them to poop or piss in the sink.either way im getting one

[@angeldemore6922]

pretty sure its the temp that makes them pee. like a small animal like a baby kitten they have to be made to use the bathroom by their cat mom, the mommy licks the kittens butt hole and the warmth of the tongue makes them go. If you have to foster parent a baby animal that was abandoned or rescued you have to use a paper towel with a warm wet tip on it to stimulate them to use the bathroom when they are very tiny. I dont know when this plays a role in hedge hogs but this seems to be a trait found across atleast most mammals. :)

[@dreamypotatoes3584]

He means he drained the water for the second one but added more water than the last one

[@hishiko]

guy: he's not freaking out hedgehog: get me outta here! (poops and tries to crawl out)

[@kaylynnes.6619]

hedgehogs are very curious animals and they are blind in their eyes. they have to use their senses to know what’s going on around him. that’s why you see him moving his head around and his nose.

[@EmiSeb19]

my hedgie loves baths. I use oatmeal pet shampoo to keep his skin hydrated and he will play with the bubbles. :) Quillium however does NOT like to float on his back.

[@brianmedina4113]

Emily Runion I love the names 😂🦔

[@kaylynnes.6619]

i got baby shampoo for my hedgehog but i haven’t gave him a bath yet. i just got him

[@hybredmoon]

I have a ferret and she has one of those balls for her to run around in. One time she pooped in her ball and then tried to run away from it. If you've never tried to bathe a Ferret, that is an adventure in and of itself.

[@natalie-gm7cd]

[@lizeteandruskevica2719]

The balls aren't good for animals

[@kaitspaghetti]

I wouldnt use exercise balls. Especially not for a ferret. They arent good for their backs or legs

"you can float just chill" LOL!

[@LCenergy1]

me watching this just to see the cute hedgehog having a bath also me when he mentions a bearded dragon..."I HAVE A BEARDED DRAGON!!!!!!"

[@SheSheShe11]

That's so damn fucking cute!

[@driftRX7]

I would honestly say it depends on the Hoglet's personality. They haven't been domesticated that long, especially in the US so they're not 100% used to us. Many hoglets will probably be shy and timid, it's just a natural defense reaction. Just spend time with it each day and DON'T BE AFRAID! They may hiss, and curl up, just pick them up underneath and move them around! The more time you spend with him/her the more they will like you!

[@zakattack8618]

thanks for your tips! I will keep the advice for my future hedgehog one day!

[@frankluckin1226]

someone at my dads work didnt look after their hedgehog and gave it away to anyone who wanted it. we took it and rehomed her and now she is fantastic and isnt shy now, this vid was excellent for me and it realy helped!! cheers!

[@Nosferopathy]

Zombie Monkey and dont forget how he just leaves literal hedgehog shit in the water for the 2nd one and splashes his hands around in it like its normal

[@exnhx4730]

i just got a hedgehog as an early Christmas present and theyre so cute

[@earthling1984]

Awesome. Be sure to check out many of my hedgehog videos to learn proper care! Most important is temperature. They need 75F to 82F. Never use a heatpad. Only above tank heating. A ceramic heat emitter is best. Don't just put on the heatlight and call it good. Put it on, wait 15 minutes, test temperature; then, adjust the light higher or lower to achieve a proper temperature.

[@exnhx4730]

Earthling1984 thank you!!! this is incredibly helpful and ill make sure to watch more of your videos.

[@NYTXhockey2219]

It's insane how friendly he is, even when I picked him up at the pet store for the first time his quills didn't even come up. I have yet to see him fully huff at me. (Only minor huffs when I wake him by petting him)

Ok how come you bathed the second one in the same dirty water as the first who I noticed crapped in the water? Isn't that a way to spread disease between them?

[@earthling1984]

None of my hedgehogs have ever had any illness. You know whole families of humans used to bathe in same water?

[@wtglb]

+Earthling1984 yes I'm aware of that and I'm also aware of the rampant epidemics that spread through people who lived in close quarters, i.e., large families, tenements. Not meaning to be too critical, but would you bathe in the same water as someone with an STD?

[@earthling1984]

+wtglb My hedgheogs don't have stds nor were any ever sick. I agree new water best. Just saying this caused no harm.
