1. **High-Quality Commercial Food**: Look for specially formulated hedgehog food or high-quality cat food (preferably grain-free) that contains a high protein content (over 30%). Ensure it has minimal fillers like corn or soy.
2. **Insects**: Hedgehogs love insects! You can offer mealworms, crickets, and waxworms as treats. These should be given in moderation due to their high-fat content.
3. **Fruits and Vegetables**: While hedgehogs don’t need a lot of fruits and veggies, small amounts can be included. Offer safe options like cooked carrots, peas, and small pieces of apple or banana. Avoid citrus fruits and anything high in sugar.
4. **Protein Sources**: In addition to commercial food and insects, you can provide cooked chicken, turkey, or eggs as a protein source. Ensure there are no seasonings or additives.
5. **Water**: Fresh water should always be available. A shallow dish is ideal, as hedgehogs can easily drown in deep water.
6. **Avoid Certain Foods**: Do not feed hedgehogs chocolate, dairy products, or any processed human foods, as these can be harmful.
By providing a balanced diet that mimics their natural feeding habits, you can help ensure your hedgehog stays healthy and happy!
