Hedgehog diet..............?

Hedgehogs are insectivores and insects are a part of their natural diet. This being said, they should be given bugs that you get at a store, not ones that they find outside. Bugs that your hedgie finds in the backyard may have been in contact with poisons (ie.- pesticides, herbicides, natural toxins, etc...).

I feed freeze-dried mealworms to my herd. You can buy them at most pet stores and then scoop them into the hedgehog's dish with a spoon (so you don't need to touch them). I don't like the idea of feeding bugs either, but it is a necessary part of the hedgehog's diet so it is best if you can work out a way to use them but without too much guilt :)

You should feed between 5 and 15 mealworms per week.

Good luck!

I had a hedgehog. I gave him pellet food, you can find this at some pet stores. I got a special kind of food from the breeder I got my hedgehog from. I also gave mine yellow tomatoes sometimes, he loved them ! When hedgehogs really really like a food they spit all over themselves, I it's so weird, and funny ! You definitely don't have to always give them live bugs, although they might need it once and a while. Some foods have crushed bugs in it. Just make sure they get the right nutrition ! Give them bugs once or so a week, you don't have to everyday, just bite the bullet, it's worth it!
