Hedgehog Lodge

Hedgehogs are inexpensive to feed, so a good quality diet should not be hard to maintain. 

My number one choice of commercially available food is Natural Choice. I use a weight loss formula for most non-breeding hedgehogs above the age of 1.

If you are choosing a different brand, ensure that it is grain free, high protein and low fat. 

Cheap cat foods such as Meow Mix, Purina or Fancy Feast are highly inappropriate and more costly as your hedgehog will eliminate more often and everywhere. 

A good quality cat food will reduce the need to eliminate constantly and will result in harder, firmer stools which is a lot easier to clean.

A good diet will lead to a healthier, happier hedgehog, elongate lifespan and keep stools to a minimum. Imagine if you lived off of French Fries - not good. 

​It is great for hedgehogs to be offered a variety of supplements every now and then such as cooked and unseasoned meats, insects and various fruits and vegetables.
