I would give her a bath, Hoglets are easier handled in the bath, usually cause they want out.
I would brush her quills with a toothbrush, while she is wet. Quills usually lay flat in the water making it easier. Lol dont you just love it when they make a mess

you could try giving her a bath in the sink, we gave biscuit a bath in the first few days of having her as she was covered in poo and she didnt really like it but I didnt want her covered in it.
what are you feeding her?

I personally use warm water. A bit like you would test water for a baby. Put some on wrist or elbow and if it is comfortable then it will be ok with the hoglet.
As already mentioned a toothbrush is a good idea. Last edited by kodakira; 12-11-2008 at 09:11 PM..
