Out of Hedgehog Food at the Pet Stores

This is a first…Anytime I have ever gone for hedgie food at the store, my hedgehog’s staple food, I have never ever had a problem finding it.

No word of a lie…I went to 5 pet stores in our area, and every single one of them was out of hedgehog food. A conspiracy? Maybe…LOL…

Not really…but now what?

Well, I went online immediately and thought I’d try a new shopping search engine for pets, ShopWiki.com/wiki/Pets, that I’ve been wanting to use for a while.

It worked out very well…I figured it would since it’s a wiki site.

I looked up hedgehog food and it spit out 59 results of different products, but it also shows you everywhere it’s available online, and for what price…Really neat!

I’ve been limited to 2 different brands of hedgie food, Sun Seed and Brown’s, when shopping locally, but online I saw brands I used to buy for my previous hedgehog years ago that I, and she, was especially fond of.

So, now I have ordered the Vitakraft Hedgehog Food to spice up Kokonut’s diet! I remembered, it looks like human trail mix, it even has little dried shrimp in it from what I remember. You can just tell it is healthier, more fresh and natural than the little pellets you can get for them.

What I thought was the coolest thing on the search engine was:
You know when you go to the store, and forget the brand name of the product you want to buy, but remember it was in a blue box or a pink bag? You can search the results you get (in my case it was 59) and narrow it by a sliding color chart…Yeah…I’ve never seen that before! Pretty helpful if you are looking up something with a ton of results.

So, I slid the color to blue, and voila…it showed me the Vitakraft food that I was looking for, but forgot the brand name…Sooo neat!

Have no Fear:
Kokonut didn’t starve in the meantime…I just fed her fresh fruit, veggies, meal worms and crickets, seeds aloe, and plain cooked chicken. She’s not a picky girl, so it wasn’t difficult to fill that void, but I find it comforting knowing she is receiving her appropriate requirements from the staple food…

Then, I can just make sure she has supplementation to her diet with the “treats” I give her.

I hope these food ideas help you in the case that you run out of hedgie food and have a local pet store conspiracy on your hands as well! LOL…

Also, I hope this Great Animal Find of the search engine for pets helps you in the search for the perfect and exact products you want for your pets!

Until next time…

P.S. Wiki’s got a slew of these different shopping search engines for anything you want to search online…not just pets…LOL…
