Added on January 4, 2012, 9:04 pmi see some website write "Bathing generally helps to relieve dry skin but hedgehogs bathed too frequently may contribute to dry skin"

then should i bath with my hedgiee frequently to solve mites problem?? or even got mites problem..also only should bath with it only once a week??

or bath with it frequently untill the mites problem solve..then change bak to bathing once a week??

confuse...all hedgehog senior...pls help..
