Hi, I’m new to the forum and started my hedgehog feeding when I found one eating the dried mealworms I put out for the birds one evening. After researching hedgehog diets I realised that mealworms were not recommended due to low calcium levels. The problem I have is that the hedgehogs are not much interested in eating the dog food and Spikes hedgehog food I put out instead! Has anyone tried dried calci-worms? Which are a similar price to the mealworms on eBay and have a much better calcium/phosphorus ratio. Also is there any reason why one couldn’t add a calcium balancer to the diet such as Nutrobal or similar?
