I visited my brother’s place at Christmas, 2005, and was lucky enough to witness a hedgehog-washing. I captured it for posterity with my cell phone.
This is the way you wash a hedgehog, wash a hedgehog, wash a hedgehog…
Courtesy of Tara Chiu (my sister-in-law), and my handy cell phone while I was visiting her and my brother…
First you take a hedgehog.
Then you get it wet. (Fortunately, they can swim.)
Let it run under the water for a minute. (Look at those little legs paddling away!)
Rub in some baby shampoo.
Carefully. Those things are prickly!!
Rinse under running water.
We are not a happy hedgehog.
Okay...ve haf vays of making you uncurl...
Making up afterwards
Voila! One happy, healthy, freshly washed hedgehog.
Hedgies are so cute!

My daughter and her friend each got one of these little critters and they are sooo adorable. Now I’m confused….don’t know if I prefer rabbits, cause they are really adorable or if I prefer hedgies cause they too are so darn adorable. Thanks for sharing your pictures
they’re so damn cute *-*
a great way to get down to the skin is to use a soft toothbrush…it helps keep the skin mites away!
