Hedgehogs have very specific food requirements. First of all they should be given a staple food. A staple food can be a Hedgehog food such as 8 in 1, Mazuri Insectivore Fare, We use Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul, Adult Lite as our staple food. VitaKraft Hedgehog food is NOT adequate for hedgehogs and hedgehogs have actually starved on this diet so please NEVER use it. Hedgehogs can be very picky so whatever you choose to feed you must make certain your hedgehog can and will eat it. A high quality cat food such as Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover’s Soul, Felidae, Royal Canin, or Wellness is the perfect staple diet. On top of their staple food hedgehogs should be offered a variety of insects. Mealworms, Silkworms, Wax worms, and Crickets are wonderful and can be purchased online or in most pet stores. Mealworms and Wax worms are fairly high in fat so those should be fed in moderation. Crickets are lower in fat and higher in calcium so they’re a good choice especially if they are gut loaded (fed a special food specifically for insects that causes them to absorb extra vitamins, minerals, and calcium). NEVER feed Super worms to your hedgehog, these are a carnivorous worm and they can bite your hedgehog and turn your hedgehog off of insects forever. You should also not feed wild caught insects that could contain parasites or pesticides. Purchasing insects at the pet shop or from an insect farm is the only way to ensure you’re purchasing insects who are pesticide free. Earth worms are especially dangerous as they can carry lung worm which is then transmitted to your hedgehog and can be fatal so please never feed wild caught insects.
