How often should I feed my hedgehog insects?

Feeding Frequency for Hedgehogs: Insects

Hedgehogs are insectivores, and insects should be a staple part of their diet. You can feed your hedgehog insects about 2-3 times a week. Some suitable insects include mealworms, crickets, and waxworms. It's important to ensure that the insects are gut-loaded (fed nutritious food before being offered to your hedgehog) and appropriately sized for your pet.

For example, if you're feeding mealworms, you should only offer a few at a time, as they are high in fat. You can mix their diet with high-quality hedgehog or cat food, as well as fruits and vegetables in moderation. Always provide fresh water and monitor your hedgehog's weight and health to adjust their diet as needed.

Remember, variety is key to a balanced diet, so try to rotate the types of insects you offer to keep things interesting for your hedgehog!
