- 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*
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.
That fool took a joke to literal
E E S M V G L S ok first of all don’t be a jerk, second of all act your age I think he knows what he’s talking about.
@@hailzbopper act your age? What does that mean? Who decides that? Who are you to demand anything from a stranger?? Well, whatever. I guess it doesn't really matter
My hedgie doesn’t seem to like baths , he always runs from the water and crawls up my arm to escape
He shat in the sink to mark his disapproval
lol
Mine also defecates and urinates when she gets into water.
Murmilone Probably scared
+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
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. :)
Famous last words "I heard they can swim"
If sonic can’t swim then all hedgehogs can’t swim

How
I dont even have a hedgehog.. They are just adorable
AKAASH
Same they are so adorable and funny
I may try saving money to buy one
Ally Taube good luck 😉
some BODYONCETOLDMETHEWORLDISGONNAROLLEME I know
He pooped in the bath. Poor fella probably got scared a bit, lol.
Sc0pee hesgehogs tend to poop a lot so it is very common to poop in the bath. Not a sign of being scared
Also giving hedgehog baths this other small animals help with digestion cause them to poop in the water
True
They get “relaxed” like my hedgehog likes to relax on me
Nah mine poops 24/7 no matter what
Sonic had me thinking hedgehogs hate water 😂
Game developers didn't do their research :P
It was a misconception iirc
Yea me too
Me to
He got so scared, he shit himself!
drsnowmon I said the same fucking thing 😂😂
Kelsie Nelson you do know they crap them self because there relaxed right
Sonic no like water and sonic can't swim :p
Meowlovania
drsnowmon, we dont want to know you will shit when you are so scared…
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.
Emily Runion I love the names 😂🦔
i got baby shampoo for my hedgehog but i haven’t gave him a bath yet. i just got him
"oh god", says the 2nd hedgehog, "please don't try to clean me by putting me in that sink full of sh*t water!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nooooooooo
He means he drained the water for the second one but added more water than the last one
guy: he's not freaking out
hedgehog: get me outta here! (poops and tries to crawl out)
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.
"you can float just chill" LOL!
So cute, he looks so shy, hiding his face from the camera hehe
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.
hybredmoon 😂😂😂
The balls aren't good for animals
I wouldnt use exercise balls. Especially not for a ferret. They arent good for their backs or legs
The way you hold them and treat them like they're your kids is so adorable!!! 😍 I'm getting one soon. Pretty excited, and now watching your videos. Thank you so much for posting tips! 😊
:) Thanks for the kind comment! Good luck with your pets!
dude shat himself
Why didn't u clean out the water after each one...
My point exactly! Totally agree with you.
Each turd
you can also use a toothbrush to clean between the quills
Elle Palmer eww. hedgehog duky on your teeth! 💩👅❣
dollar store toothbrush to the rescue~ I would hope the average person would know not to use the same brush on their teeth -_-..
Im just imagining how cute that would be
You clearly have a lot of love for your hedgies! Great video. Got one today, grumpy little fella but he's opening up already :)
When you said, "I'm gonna go grab another hedgehog, and be right back..." I literally burst out laughing. God, I wish I could go grab another hedgehog, or just one, for that matter!
That was so adorable! Thank you for the video. I can tell those are very lucky little hedgehogs!
Awwwwww I’m dying this is sooooooo cute I want one
Wow!You are such a good owner!I have seen your videos and i love the way you love and care about your animals!
Strawberry-Smiggles **SINGS OFFKEY* Lapis Lazuli, you fled into the bottom of the sea.
He bathed the second hedgehog in the first one's poopy water...
I've been considering getting a Hedgehog for a while, I've been watching your videos to learn. Thanks a bunch!
Yeah me too
"Hey, Dougie, what did you do with your Sunday?!"
"Watched hedgehog videos on youtube"
"WOAH YOU GOT A HEDGEHOG!?"
"Nope."
"..."
I just gave my hedgehog his first bath and he was so calm, he let me pet him and him up without poking me !
Giving my first hedgehog my first bath thank you for the help! :)
Loll super cute video! "You'll float if you chill out a little dude!" Lol love the way you speak to them. Adorable ❤️
This is so sweet ^-^ I love the way you handle him and talk to him hehe
‘You’re okay. You’ll float. You’ll float’ this is literally me talking to my hedgehog. Except mine is usually ‘you dumb nugget it’s you making noise stop hissing at yourself’
Am i the only one who notices the poo in the water lol
Me too
We all saw it.
ɪ sᴀᴡ ɪᴛ
minato sahashi I think he pooed because he was scared
minato sahashi i think i would change the water.
You have such beautiful hedgehogs. Really great help. Thanks!!
I had a hedgehog many years ago, and she actually loved baths right from the start. She especially liked it when I held her on her back and ran the water from the tap onto her stomach.
I can't believe you put Pinto in dirty water. What, you couldn't have drawn fresh water for her?
Right??! "Here's some poopy water for your first bath!!!"
He probably did but just filled the sink up higher than the last time
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!
Lovely hedgehog!
thanks for your tips! I will keep the advice for my future hedgehog one day!
AWWWWWWWW!!!!! TOTES cute!!!!
That's so damn fucking cute!
I'm getting a hedgehog after summer is over and you have given me the most information thank you soooo much!!!
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!
2020 anyone? And when I heard him say “ You’ll float” the first thing that came to mind was Pennywise
3:07 you scared the shit out of him, literwlly! XD
i could watch you bathe hedgehogs for hours
I'm so glad it's his first time now I know what to expect when the time comes for mine to take a bath
Hehehe he only said 85 degrees, not specifing if Fahrenheit or Celsius. If Celsius you get hedgehog soup :D Sorry, I'm evil.
Lilith Nerevarine ik this is probs a joke but who's sink goes 85 Celsius lol?
Lmao
Kevin Heckel LMAOOOO! Plus I’m sure the whole “common sense” issue comes into play as well. Hahahahaha!
This was a funny joke though!
Lol I was thinking the same thing 😂
Awww he's so cute 😍😍😍
wow really nice to see your passion about hedgehogs this video just made me really happy :D
This is a lot better than the other bathing video.
I'm not really sure why you are giving a video on how to give a hedgehog a bath when you have never given a hedgehog a bath before...?
Zombie Monkey He has done this before, but not with this exact hedgehog..
This was first bath for that hedgehog 😂
He has has many hedgehogs before. He said that this hedgehog was around 8 months so it was it’s first time.
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
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
they are gorgeous hedgehogs. :)
You are so good with your hedgehogs - You're a good dad.
Who did you get yours from? I really want one for my birthday but I wanna find a good seller
sᴀᴍᴇ
If you go on the sorry girls channel they have links in the description. I'm getting information because I'm getting one.
What ever state u live in for example I like in Colorado search “hedgehog breeders in Colorado” or whatever state your in UNLESS u live in California they are illegal there and in Indianapolis as well
He's so calm. Do you have problems cutting his nails too? Or is it easier cause he's so calm? He's cuuute :)
Hedgehogs are so cute. X3 And a useful video man. :) Thanks for uploading. :)
Awwwwww i love hedgehogs SOOOO much! That was adorable!! :) xxx
Is that sonic the hedgehog?
apothic D I bet it is!!❣
*placed in water again. Drowning theme plays.*
apothic D Stupid Labyrinth Zone!!!!!!
do hedgoges smell? cause my mom won't let me have one cause apprantly they "smell".is it true.
+Kim Jong-il nope, not at all. clean their cage weekly and no smell at all.
+Earthling1984 ah, alright then thank you!
+Kim Jong-il Kim Jung il? Da fuq? Thought you were all serious and a mom? Wtf
a dingo named bingo they smell if you don't give them baths but other than that no not really
Mine dont
Thank you so much for the help! I'm trying to learn things to keep my hedgehog in good condition and happy. My hedgehog is a female and she looks like ur female hedgehog you showed, her name is Orchid. This was very helpful.
Really cute!
clean the water after one another its dirty!!!
He did clean it
@@dreamypotatoes3584 No!
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?
None of my hedgehogs have ever had any illness. You know whole families of humans used to bathe in same water?
+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?
+wtglb My hedgheogs don't have stds nor were any ever sick. I agree new water best. Just saying this caused no harm.
+Earthling1984 haha, ok I was just using it as an analogy. You seem like a responsible owner.
+wtglb he's a pretty good breeder from what I've seen :p
this is beyond cute! you're so good with animals. inspiring almost. :3 sure made me want to have a hedgehog of my own.
thank you so much this really helped my hedgehog
!!!!
He pooped !😮
I want to name my hedgehog Pixie. Pls tell me ur opinion.
Sounds like a good name
+darth telly tnx
hedgehog_lover :p I named mine Emmie and pixie is an amazing name.
Aww, your hedgehogs are so cute. I loved filling the tub with a little water and having my hedgehog swim. I don't think she liked it that much, but she would float on her back no problem! I miss my girl
Great video man...Love your pet ! He's super cute...
Why did you put her in the used dirty water?
Alaina Hall it's a dude❣
U noticed too
wait 85 Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Fahrenheit
85 Celsius = 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Water boils at 212, so...
do u want to clean him or do you want to eat him ?
Your a special kind of stupid
Thank you I know
he is adorable
Good video. I'll be a first time buyer so it's nice to see this type of video.
3:29 is that poop in the water???
Alexa Mora probably but it happens he cant just,, never poop
Alexa Mora yes. it's 🐗💩❣
If you didn't name him yet. Name him Sonic the hedgehog
Many people named their hedgehogs sonic lol
I agree
Call him sonic the shithog
Name him feel tube prototype character of sonic
Awwwwww they are soooo cute!
i just got a hedgehog as an early Christmas present and theyre so cute
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.
Earthling1984 thank you!!! this is incredibly helpful and ill make sure to watch more of your videos.
This is what i Dreamed to learn today ...Cleaning shit from hedgehog leg... Mate thank you for this info ...i will never buy one..... and stick with Dogs
Dogs and cats make great pets too! I have 2 cats and a dog myself as well :) Have a good one!
Dogs step in shit as well !!
Ewww you put the next hedgehog in the same poopy water, gross.
this guy really loves hedgehogs
Hedgehogs are so cute! Awwww :)
I clicked this because I knew it was going to be adorable.
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)
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!!!!!!"
....Best pet ever!
Best pet owner ever!
Thank you for teaching me how to bath hedgehogs! I have one his name is Jet.
Your hedgehog is so cute :)
this is so cute
I don't have a hedgedog, but i love watching these
I have watched 3 vids and am now a new subscriber :)
awesome ;)
Great point. Animals would show if they were in distress or harmed and one way would be to bite the handler letting him know about the distress or harm.
I love your videos! Very helpful. I'm thinking about getting a hedgehog this summer. Just doing my research first. (=
*dunks head in water* “oh cmon no no no no no”
they are so cute omg
he is so cute ! :)
i loveeeeeeeee him! he is so adorable!
I am a reptile hobbyist, saw this and now want one
it seems like you really take care of your hedgehoggies...there very cute
Im never gonna get a hedgehog, so why am I watching these hedgehog vids? XD
You are very sweet to Your Pets
He's soooooooo cute OMG, thanks for the video
@OhlookItsJAKE Awesome! Glad to help and glad she enjoyed her bath! Nail clipping can be hard especially if they just curl up on you! Best of luck with your pet(s)!
