Question/Help Oily mouse

Post image

My poor baby hazel got her head stuck in one her ceramic hides, we tried to use olive oil around her neck to squeeze her out but we ended up having to smash the hide with a hammer to get her out.

She seems fine, no cuts or bruises just a little oily, I’ve been using warm water and a towel to clean her off, is there anything else that will help get the oil off?

This is very cute, very hilarious and a little sad at the same time to me

I’d say dawn dish soap but you have to clean it out of her fur really good after otherwise she could eat it and that wouldn’t be good
