Are hedgehogs herbivores or carnivores?

Dietary Classification of Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs are primarily insectivores, which means their natural diet consists mainly of insects and other small invertebrates. In the wild, they consume a variety of foods including beetles, caterpillars, earthworms, and slugs. While they are not strictly carnivores, they can also eat some plant material, such as fruits and vegetables, but this should only be a small part of their diet. It's important to provide a balanced diet for pet hedgehogs, which can include high-quality cat food, specially formulated hedgehog food, and occasional treats like mealworms or cooked chicken. Avoid feeding them dairy products and processed foods, as these can cause digestive issues.
