One of the best ways to prepare your Long-Eared hedgehog for an upcoming show is to consult with fellow competitors and ask for advice and a list of tasks that should be accomplished ahead of time. Your veterinarian may also have several suggestions for prepping your hedgehog. For instance, your vet may recommend a warm bath for your hedgehog the night before the show. Use a shallow bowl or sink to wash the hedgehog in. Ask your vet what type of soap or shampoo to use. You may also want to scrub your hedgehog’s quills with a toothbrush. Also trim and clean your hedgehog’s toenails the night before. In addition, make sure your hedgehog’s eyes and nose are clean. Above all, make sure your hedgehog is free of fleas, mites or other parasites as this could be grounds for disqualification or refusal of entry. Talk with your veterinary clinic Las Vegas, NV for additional tips.
