What to Feed a Hedgehog in Torpor

Feeding a Hedgehog in Torpor

During torpor, a state of lowered metabolism that hedgehogs enter to conserve energy in extreme cold or food scarcity, it's important to adjust their diet. Offer high-protein, high-fat foods to support their energy needs. Good options include high-quality cat food, mealworms, cooked chicken, and scrambled eggs. Avoid fruits, vegetables, and sugary treats during this time. Ensure fresh water is always available. Monitor their weight and health closely during torpor.
