‘Hedgehogs will also relish any combination of meat-based wet dog or cat foods as these are high in the protein that they need. Just remember, they will be getting most of their food from insects and worms in the wild, and this food is only supplementary.’
This is quoted under Hedgehog Street’s news article titled Supplementary food for hedgehogs.’ However they do talk about specialist hedgehog food first. So I guess the high protein content explains why hedgehog hospitals and hedgehog street is now saying that this is the best food.
Under the news article ‘Hibernation FAQ’s’, there is a little drawing titled Winter Is Coming, and under a picture of a hedgehog sniffing a bowl of food it says ‘Help hedgehogs by putting out food so they can fatten up for winter. Meaty dog or cat food is best.’
