My hedgehog seems to have a bit of a skin problem - the skin on his back is a little bit flaky, but it blows off like dandruff. Would I be able to see any mites if that was the problem?

Also his 'normal' skin - arms and legs, belly, face, is quite red.. it shows through the white of his fur on his face. I gave him a bath the other day, so could this be a reaction to the soap I was using?

His poop is also dark green and moistish.. a little bit sticky. This is bad, I'm guessing...?

Thanks!
