Kechara vs. the rubber ducky

Thank you to all the people who helped raise the money for Penelope's surgery!

Kechara the African Hedgehog, Shming's sister, asserts her dominance over the bath toys.

NEVER leave a hedgehog unattended in water, even for a moment.

Monitor the water temperature carefully and always make sure your hedgehog has an easy-to-reach place to rest. After a swim or bath, make sure your pet is completely dry before returning to his/her cage.

so do you put her in the tub so that she can have a bath and get cleaned, or just to kick some rubber ass?

@emmeg516 It's all about the pecking order. That squeaky pink rascal might get up to anything if he isn't put in his place now and then.

I just got an African Hedgehog today. just wondering how offen do you give him a bath and after letting him swim just put him in a towel to dry thats it???

[AdaliaGlenys]

@jonzurc Bathe him as often as he needs it; some need it every day, others only occasionally. It's important to keep his feet clean and his claws trimmed, though. Hedgehogs are prone to foot infections that can become life-threatening if they aren't treated by a vet. A few drops of olive oil in the bath water will help keep his skin moisturized.

[AdaliaGlenys]

@jonzurc We generally warm a towel in the clothes dryer for hedgie use after a bath or swim. You can also use a hair-dryer, but keep it on a low setting and at a distance so you don't scorch your hedgie. Hedgehogs are also very susceptible to pneumonia, so make sure his belly is completely dry before you put him back in his cage. If you always give him a special treat after a bath, swim or claw trim, that will improve his attitude toward each by giving him something to look forward to.

*heart melts* This is... the most cutest video I've EVER seen in my life!

I feel so warm and fuzzy inside! X3

I love how Kechara goes after the duck and wants to push it or flip around. I love the swimming, so cute with the paddling of its adorable little feet! <3

[AdaliaGlenys]

That duck was always her nemesis. He was absolutely forbidden to be upright. I've no idea why, though.

Looks just like Shming :)

[MusicWoman55]

Kechara is an even better swimmer than her brother Shming! She interacted more with the bath toys than her siblings and, after a bath, she would try to get out of our hands and into the bathtub to play!

[misspinkpunkykat]

They should make a new Sonic game where he has to fight a giant, pink duck.
