Fleas are external parasites common to all wild animals.
The administration of flea ampoules must absolutely be done by a vet or an expert.
It can be very toxic to a hedgehog.
​
These parasites, as well as being very annoying, can infest our home and our pets. They can also be carriers of some diseases (mange).
​
Simple precautions can make us safe
from this:
- never pick up or touch a wild without protection - immediately put it in a container and cover it with a light fabric
- hand it over to the authorities as soon as possible (CRAS in Italy, an
authorized centre, or vet)
If this is not possible within a short time, we can eliminate the fleas ourselves.
​
We use a spray Neo-Foractil.
Never spray it directly on to the hedgehog.
​
After putting on gloves, we spray this for about 5 seconds on a pad well away from the hedgehog.
Just soak the pad (or gauze) well and wipe this pad only on the spines.
​
If this action is carried out correctly, the fleas will begin to fall and die in a few minutes and the hedgehog will not be intoxicated.
​
The hedgehog must be kept in isolation.
Avoid using any pesticide on babies and infants
(only for Vets in very rare cases).
