Tea tree products??

[Tessa.31]

hello,
Well my grandmother bought me this tea tree coconut body wash/soap, and i know that tea tree products can be fatal to hedgehogs, but im wondering if i were to use it , and then hold or cuddle him later on, would it affect him?? obviously if it will hurt him i wont use it but i just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Tessa

Gosh, I don't know. I'm in the same boat as you: I'd avoid using it until you hear it's okay.

I don't know unfortunately. The best way to go when you don't know and you think there may be a risk, is probably not to risk it at all. I wouldn't t use it (your grandmother would never have to know). Stuff stays on our bodies longer than you'd think, and hedgies love to annoint, suck and chew.
