Bonding Through Touch

  1. Step 1 Wash your hands before you pick up your hedgehog.
    Use the same soap each time you wash your hands. Your hedgehog will begin to associate that scent with you and be more comfortable. Do not wear gloves when you handle your hedgehog. Your hedgehog will not be able to smell you.[1]
    • Hedgehogs may also be frightened by the smell of gloves and begin to bite.
    • If you do not want to use your bare hands, use a blanket instead. If you do use a blanket, use the same one each time and wash it with the same detergent.
