Hedgehogs lather up with turpentine, tobacco and other toxic substances. The reason for this bizarre behavior isn't clear - but it's definitely weird.

Hedgehogs self-anoint when they come across any new smell or taste. The babies spread food all over themselves, adults do it less often. We have little evidence that hogs have a high tolerance to toxins. We get many in that die from poisoning.

@DR3ADER1 3 жыл бұрын

The poison cleans the spikes and lubricates the skin. Remember, despite their prickly exterior, the skin of a hedgehog is quite delicate, dries easily and is very infection-prone. The Turpentine and tobacco wipe away the dirt and bacteria in addition to keeping the skin moist.

@DR3ADER1 3 жыл бұрын

It's especially not that strange when you consider that Lye, Turpentine and Tobacco possesses properties of cleaning agents. Lye is used as a key ingredient in soaps, Tobacco contains Benzine, which is used in detergents and Turpentine is a very effective antiseptic resin used to prevent wounds from becoming septic or infected. And since a Hedgehog's skin is very prone to drying and is incredibly fragile and infection-prone, they lather the aforementioned substances on their spikes and skin to keep them moist, lubricated and clean.

@Cuddly-Cactus 3 күн бұрын

Out of all the pets that I have owned throughout my lifetime, the African Pigmy Hedgehog is still my absolute favorite, I've owned several and sadly their lifespan is only 5 - 8 years, and seeing as I am someone that gets fully attached to my "fur and quill and scale babies," I just cannot cope with such a limited lifespan. (In so far as it just demolishes my soul whenever I lose one of my adopted children.) So nowadays, I just enjoy watching various wildlife cams in areas that wild hedgehogs frequent. The species being shown here is indigenous to several European countries, the UK and Germany is where they are most prevalent. Hence the name, European Hedgehogs, and there is another species of hedgehog, the long eared desert hedgehog or sand hedgehog, that is indigenous to Asia and Africa. If you want to see one of the cutest and most badass species of hedgehog, then check out the long eared desert Hedgehogs. You will not be disappointed! 🌵❤️🦔
