How to Bath a Hedgehog

It takes me half an hour to shower, but it takes almost an hour for Carpet to take a bath. Memang princess! T__________T

At first, we got her her very own bathtub :

Mixing hot and cold water…

The problem is, this tub is too shallow Carpet keeps climbing up! She doesn’t seem to like water too much. =/

But Carpet has got to do what a hedgehog’s got to do!

We grab Carpet by the hand, get a baby toothbrush, and gently brush her quills.  ^^

But the moment we put her back in her tub, she tries to escape again. SHE KEEPS DOING THAT!!! T__________T

So we came out with a better idea :

We bathed her in my bathroom sink. Ha Ha..  And yea, that’s a piece of her shit there you see…

Here is a super short video of her attempting to escape bathing session. It looks like she is swimming! Damn cute  XD :

So to summarize the whole thing, these are the things you need to bath a Carpet hedgehog :

  • Your sink (sanitize it with Dettol after!)
  • Warm water (hedgies DO catch colds)
  • Baby soap (because it is tear-free :D )
  • A baby toothbrush (so you won’t drop the quills)
  • A hair dryer (to dry your hedgie before putting her back into her home)

That’s basically all you need. I hope you enjoyed watching the video! lol

I love Carpet very much, but she has too much sentimental value in her. Each time I see her she reminds me of someone because we bought her together. Therefor I am contemplating if I should sell her away…

Do you think I should? ):
