    Hedgehogs have spines. Porcupines have quills.

    Do hedgepigs need to be moisturized after bathing? I know very little about their care, feeding and bathing.

    • Earwig says:

      I occasionally moisturised the late, great Yona Pog’s ears. The edges could get a bit dry and I used some Vit E cream to moisturise them. The skin between her quills or on her feet never seemed dry, but I’d use very gentle puppy shampoo to clean the poop off and that seemed to help. Ideally I guess you’d never bathe hedgies, but they do get really poopy feet and stinky quills sometimes!

      emberrann: below is a(n) URL with numerous articles that are specific to the bathing question. I presume that among them will probably come up something that connects to info about the general “care and welfare of” type material. Hope it is helpful!
