We have been working on transitioning our hedgehogs to a more natural diet. We are now limiting processed cat food in our kibble mix.
Hedgehog Precision is our hedgehogs main diet. They are currently free fed the Standard Formula. Our pregnant and nursing mothers are given High Calorie when its available for purchase. I cant say enough good things about this food. The kibble size is designed for hedgehogs, the main ingredient is Black Solider Fly larvae, and the customer service is impeccable.
Next is a list of cat foods we recommend:
Please avoid:
Science Diet
Friskies
Fancy Feast
Meowmix
or any other low quality cat foods
Bugs
Mealworms
Superworms
Dubia Roaches
Madagascar Hissing Roaches
Hornworms
Crickets
Due to the fact that Long Eared Hedgehogs require a more extensive diet we have incorporated it into our African Pygmy Hedgehog and Lesser Tenrec feeding program.
