How Often Should You Feed Your Hedgehog

Feeding Frequency for Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs should be fed once a day, ideally in the evening, as they are nocturnal animals. It’s important to establish a consistent feeding schedule to help your hedgehog feel secure and to regulate their eating habits. You can offer a high-quality hedgehog food or a mix of cat food that is high in protein and low in fat. Additionally, you can supplement their diet with small amounts of fruits and vegetables, such as cooked carrots or apples, but these should only make up a small portion of their diet. Always ensure fresh water is available at all times. Monitor their food intake and adjust based on their weight and health, as overfeeding can lead to obesity. Remember to consult with a veterinarian for personalized advice based on your hedgehog's specific needs.
