Feeding your hedgehog a balanced diet is crucial for their health and well-being. A good diet for a hedgehog typically consists of high-quality commercial hedgehog food, supplemented with a variety of insects, lean proteins, and occasional fruits and vegetables. Commercial hedgehog food should have a protein content of around 30-35% and be specifically formulated for hedgehogs. Insects like mealworms, crickets, and waxworms are great sources of protein for hedgehogs. Lean proteins such as cooked chicken, turkey, or scrambled eggs can also be offered. Fruits and vegetables should be given in moderation as treats, with favorites being apples, carrots, and green beans. It's essential to avoid feeding your hedgehog dairy, sugary, or fatty foods. Always provide fresh water in a shallow dish. Remember, a varied diet is key to meeting all of your hedgehog's nutritional needs.
