When it comes to feeding your hedgehog, it's essential to provide the right amount of food to ensure they stay healthy and happy. Adult hedgehogs typically require about 1 to 2 tablespoons of high-quality hedgehog food or cat food per day. It's important to choose a food that is high in protein and low in fat. Look for foods that contain at least 30% protein and less than 15% fat.

In addition to dry food, you can supplement their diet with occasional treats like cooked chicken, mealworms, or fruits and vegetables (such as peas and cooked carrots) in small amounts. Always introduce new foods gradually to avoid digestive upset.

Monitor your hedgehog's weight and adjust the food quantity accordingly. If your hedgehog is gaining too much weight, reduce the amount of food; if they are losing weight, you may need to increase it. Remember to provide fresh water daily, and avoid feeding them dairy products, as many hedgehogs are lactose intolerant.

For young hedgehogs or those that are pregnant or nursing, they may require more food, so it's best to consult a vet for specific dietary needs during these stages.
