Hedgehog Pool Party

I've never had a hedgehog as a pet but is seems like they could be bathed with a gentle sprayer or a cloth or something without having to submerge them in water and traumatizing them.

Hedgehogs can swim, yes. But they don't do it for fun they do it out of necessity. You'll notice that all those hogs seem to be trying to get out of the basin and when one manages to escape their "kind" keeper puts them back in. That particular animal clearly did not want to be in the water or it would not have climbed out.

I keep animals and I bathe them regularly, but I do not force any of them to swim if they don't want to. Except the fish.

I'm just outraged by the location and proximity of that person's toothbrush. Yuck!

Over the years I've notice about Neatorama. The stories can be categorized three ways;

*really neat

*nerdy to the point of some sort of autistic-like obsessive fixation (the kind adults usually grow out of, autistic or not)

*entirely stupid and/or pointless

I feel that this story is of my third category. I do like hedgehogs though, they're so cute !

If you know anything about hedgehogs, you know that you need to bathe them on a regular basis and that they are great swimmers.
