When I first got my hedgehogs, Izzy and Sophie, ( which was only a couple months ago) they were scratching. We thought it was just because their quills were growing in, but when we took them to the vet, we discovered that the had mites! Mites are sort of like lice for hedgehogs. If your hedgehog is scratching, take it to the vet for a checkup. The vet may give you some medicine to cure the mites. What we did, was that we went to the vet once a week, and each week, the vet would give Izzy and Sophie a shot. Don't worry, the hedgehogs aren't hurt by it! But after the third week, they were cured. But one other thing, ( sorry you might be getting tired of reading this, but this is the most important part.) if your hedgehog does have mites, when you get home clean its cage and dispose of any fabric or cloth that is in their cage because it may have mite eggs on it. Sorry that this was so long, but it is important for your hedgehog's health. Hope I helped!
