I feed my hedgehogs Chicken Soup for the Soul Indoor cat food. Link to Amazon
The most important thing is that the cat food or hedgehog food that you buy should have a first ingredient of chicken (not corn, meat by products, etc). Protein content should be 30-38% (lower is better since they are omnivores) and Fat content should be no more than 14%.
Be sure to watch their weight. If a hedgehog can no longer form into a ball, it’s too heavy. Hedgehogs should eat around 100 calories or 1-3 tablespoons of dry cat food per day.
Treats can include mealworms, boiled chicken, scrambled/hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, veggies and fruits and many more. High protein snacks are great. Remember they are insectivores, so vegetables and fruits are not to be a main part of their diet.
