Questionhi my hedgies have really really dry skin on there backs, there skin is so dry its flakeing off ( the dead skin is ) what should we do? we bath them with just plane old water no soap so what should we do?
AnswerI don't answer medical questions. You may be over bathing. Sometime you just need a foot bath, not a full bath. Make sure your hedgie has plenty of water and is able to drink it. Some hedgies can't use a water bottle. Also food could be causing an allergy... one symptom is overly dry skin.
I suggest you take your hedgie in to visit a vet that specializes in hedgehogs.
