Do hedgehogs need to get vaccinated?

+1 vote
I've had a hedgehog for about a year. I haven't given her any shots. Should I? Are there vaccinations that hedgehogs should get?

Normally hedgehogs don't need routine vaccinations. If she appears to be healthy with no eye,ear or nose discharges, poops normally, eats well and is active, has no lumps or bumps, then she's probably fine. Check her skin for mites , a common problem in hedgehogs. If she does have mites, don't use ivermectin. Revolution, a dog medication, is safer. Check with your vet for proper dosage.
