Squeaky Clean Only owning a hedgehog for a few weeks‚ I quickly realized that the poor thing got rather dirty. Small pieces of the cage liner and nesting materials easily became lodged between the quills that covered his back. Bathing a hedgehog can’t be that difficult. I remembered back to the instructions the pet store clerk told me. Use tear free soap‚ scrub him with a toothbrush‚ and use a flannel like fabric to dry him. Determined to make my hedgehog look as pristine as possible I pursued the
