How to bath your hedgehog? Just run enough lukewarm (never hot or cold) just enough to reach the hedgehogs belly.When the hedgehog is more used to it run a little more water so he or she can swim.if you still see dirt that use a toothbrush (not yours) to brush it off.Never leave them unattended they could get out or worse drowned.
