1. **Dry Cat Food**: High-quality dry cat food can act as a dental treat. The crunchiness helps scrape away plaque and tartar from their teeth. Make sure to choose a brand that is high in protein and low in fillers.
2. **Insects**: Offering freeze-dried or dehydrated insects like mealworms or crickets can also be beneficial. While they don't specifically clean teeth, the chewing action can help maintain dental health.
3. **Homemade Treats**: You can create your own crunchy treats using hedgehog-safe ingredients. For example, you can blend cooked chicken or turkey with some ground up kibble and bake them into small, crunchy biscuits.
4. **Dental Chews for Small Animals**: Some pet stores offer dental chews intended for small animals. Always check the ingredients and ensure they are safe for hedgehogs.
Remember to monitor your hedgehog while they are enjoying these treats to prevent choking, and always provide fresh water alongside any treats. Regular vet check-ups will also help keep their teeth and gums healthy.
