[jules_77]

i read some where that putting oil in your hedgehogs food can help get rid of dry skin i was just wondering if anybody does this? and if so what kind and how much oil do you use?? :confused: :confused:

I use virgin olive oil.....just a few drops each night on her kibbles. Works great and is easy for her to digest. I :) have also heard of people using flax seed or almond oil both of which I would like to try.

Some people take a vitamin E capsule and break it open over the dry spots on their hedgie.

I use vit. e or almond oil on her skin after bath. I also add bit 1/2 TB flaxseed oil to her kibbles every 2-3 days or so. It's been working out great for me. :)
