Yes, insects are an excellent source of nutrition for hedgehogs! In the wild, hedgehogs primarily feed on a variety of insects, making them a natural and healthy choice for their diet. Some of the best insects to offer your hedgehog include mealworms, crickets, and waxworms. These insects are high in protein and provide essential nutrients that help maintain your hedgehog's health.

When feeding insects to your hedgehog, it's important to ensure they are gut-loaded (fed nutritious foods before being offered to your pet) and free from pesticides. You can also provide a mix of dried insects and live ones to add variety to their diet. However, moderation is key; too many insects can lead to obesity, so they should be part of a balanced diet that includes high-quality hedgehog pellets and occasional fruits and vegetables.

Remember to introduce any new food gradually to avoid digestive upset. Always consult with a veterinarian for personalized dietary advice for your hedgehog!
