Picky Hedgehog? Not Mine…

April 28, 2008 by Kimberly 


I often hear that people have pet hedgehogs that are picky with what they eat…

NOT MINE! LOL

My hedgie will eat just about anything I feed her…I may not actually see her eat it, but it’s gone in the morning when I check on her…

I try to stay away from dairy, as it sometimes upsets her tummy, but other than that…she is a feeding champion!

She loves her meal worms, either freeze dried (my fave) or in a can (not live), any brand of hedgehog food I’ve tried, all vegetables and fruits that I’ve given her, seeds, nuts, coconut…

I try giving her different types of leaves from plants and berries from outside…She especially loves that…

Now, she may froth herself whenever she tries something new, but she is right at it immediately!

It makes my life easier!

I hope you enjoyed this tip from Exotic Animal Lover! Until next time…

P.S. Kokonut especially liked this brand of hedgie food, in case your baby is a bit picky:

Sun Seed Sunscription Vita Hedgehog Formula (25-oz canister) Sun Seed Sunscription Vita Hedgehog Formula (25-oz canister)

Sunscription VITA Hedgehog Formula is designed specifically for the African Hedgehog, the species most commonly kept as pets. This specially sized pellet features multiple protein sources such as crab, shrimp, tuna & freeze dried mealworms for outstanding palatability and nutrition.

    My good stumbling buddy, mumba, says:

    “We haven’t got a hedgehog. We do have a tortoise though. His name is Luther, (or Looooothhherrrr), and he must be around 50 years old. He is surprisingly fast and attacks anything coloured orange:))”

    Wow…That’s neat! He’s 50! Wow! Orange, huh? I wonder why that is…???
