Does Hailey tolerate bathes? What if she just got her feet a bit wet and then you could wipe them off?

weesiepoo is on a distinguished road
yes, we use a little pan or the bottom of the tub and some warm water and let them run around. if they really don't like water, try feeding mealies while they soak. hedgies will prretty much ignore anything for a mealie or so.

another option is the pet bath wipes from walmart or the pet store. or a wet wash cloth, but then you either don't get soap or you have to do one with soap and one without to clean the soap. keepin the nails trimmed really helps, especially since most of the poop boots are due to the inner curve of the nail holding it.
