No one is quite sure why hedgehogs self anoint. They always seem do it when they come into contact with a smell they do not know, or a smell they enjoy.
One theory is that they do this to remember the smell, while other hedgehog enthusiasts argue they do it solely because they are enjoying a scent. Still others believe it is a combination of the two. Another idea circulating is that they do this to "cover up" their own scent, by taking the scent of their environment and putting it on themselves.
