I visited my brother’s place at Christmas, 2005, and was lucky enough to witness a hedgehog-washing. I captured it for posterity with my cell phone.
This is the way you wash a hedgehog, wash a hedgehog, wash a hedgehog…
Courtesy of Tara Chiu (my sister-in-law), and my handy cell phone while I was visiting her and my brother…
First you take a hedgehog.
Then you get it wet. (Fortunately, they can swim.)
Let it run under the water for a minute. (Look at those little legs paddling away!)
Rub in some baby shampoo. Carefully. Those things are prickly!!
Rinse under running water.
We are not a happy hedgehog.
Okay...ve haf vays of making you uncurl...
Making up afterwards
Voila! One happy, healthy, freshly washed hedgehog.
Hedgies are so cute!
