Basic Hedgehog First Aid Kit

Clients need a basic first aid kit to handle emergencies and minor health issues. Hedgehogs are delicate, and quick access to supplies can help prevent complications. A well-stocked kit allows owners to address injuries, dehydration, or stress immediately. This ensures prompt care while awaiting veterinary assistance, keeping the hedgehog comfortable and safe.

Here is a basic hedgehog first aid list to help you prepare for any emergency:

1. Thermometer – To check your hedgehog’s temperature (normal is 95-98°F).
2. Heating Pad/ Hand Warmers – For warming up a cold or stressed hedgehog.
3. Vet Contact Information – Have the contact details of an emergency vet and your regular vet readily available.
4. Hydrating Solution – Pedialyte or a homemade electrolyte solution to rehydrate a sick or dehydrated hedgehog. (Oxbow Omnivore Care or Flukers Reptile Boost)
5. Sterile Gauze Pads – For covering wounds and stopping bleeding.
6. Antiseptic Wipes or Solution – To clean wounds (non-alcoholic, such as Betadine or chlorhexidine).
7. Tweezers – To carefully remove foreign objects like splinters or burrs.
8. Bandages – To secure dressings and prevent further injury.
9. Cotton Balls or Swabs – For cleaning eyes or ears.
10. Nail Clippers – For trimming overgrown nails carefully.
11. Ointment – A mild antibiotic ointment for minor cuts or abrasions.
12. Eye Dropper or Syringe – For feeding fluids if your hedgehog is unable to drink on its own.
13. Blanket or Towel – To wrap your hedgehog securely and reduce stress during handling.
14. Emergency Transport Box – A small, secure box for safely transporting your hedgehog to the vet.
15. Styptic Powder– to stop bleeding during a nail trim

Always consult a vet for any serious health concerns or emergencies.
