I use the Aveeno oatmeal bath that I add directly to the water. I use add a teaspoon or two. Then I use a soft bristled toothbrush for scrubbing quills. It's worked out well for me anyway. I love Aveeno products- if their good enough for me, their good enough for my babies :)

That Aveeno is what I use also. I also use a soft bristle toothbrush and scrub gently. I use my fingers for the belly and feet.

I wouldnt suggest baby shampoo but i could be wrong. I always use all purpose dog/puppy shampoo.
If you are not sure how to bath the hedgie I take a large tuperware container and i fill it about 2 in full or warm water then i put on a pair of dishwashing gloves and i get the hedgie all wet. then i put a lil bit of soap on my hand and gentally rub it into all the smell spots and rub the oppisite way that the quills lie (toward the head) but be care ful not get get soap on the face. Then i rince well. But always becarefull of there eyes just like a baby
