About this deal

WildThings® Hedgehog Food has been specially formulated as a complete meal that will benefit the overall health and wellbeing of Hedgehogs. Containing a carefully selected blend of natural antioxidants, vitamins and minerals it is a convenient and economical way of supporting the wildlife in your gardens' natural ECO system. WildThings ® Hedgehog food is best placed in a quiet corner of your garden alongside a dish of water providing the perfect addition to nature's fare. It's also delicious so hedgehogs will become regular visitors. Feeding guide Bread is something that many people have traditionally given to hedgehogs, as well as birds, of course. But it has little nutritional value and only serves to fill them up, meaning they won’t then go in search of more nutritious foods. Hedgehogs are not insectivores as many people think. Studies have shown they are omnivorous. These studies have analysed faeces and stomach contents of wild hogs, and food preference trials in captive wild hedgehogs. a) The start of this is a very old post (from June 2017) and some of the information which follows is outdated. Since then there have been various posts which are very much more concise. It is unfortunate that this one has been brought to prominence again – not for the first time, as is evident! Those who keep hedgehogs as pets tend to feed them a variety of things to give them all the nutrients they need to grow healthily. Plus, hedgehogs naturally have a varied diet, so owners should try to replicate it as best they can.

Clear away any uneaten food in the morning and refill the dishes each evening so the food and water is always fresh. It’ll be quiet in winter, so start up the station in another season. Finally, ensure you always wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling the food and dishes (hedgehogs can spread diseases). How do you feed hedgehogs in your garden? But the gardener/ my neighbour/someone on the telly (insert appropriate term here) says its fine to feed them mealworms (etc)! Hedgehog specific biscuits: Here, we feed our visiting wildies with a mix of two things: Ark Wildlife hedgehog biscuits, and Ark Wildlife hedgehog mix. This doesnt get eaten by the neighbourhood cats, the hedgehogs like it (please bear in mind that it WILL take them a few days to get used to a change in food), and the wild birds finish off any bits leftover. I have no affiliation with Ark wildlife, its simply that our wild hogs will eat it. There are other alternatives available. However, I have confidence that Ark wildlife have done their research and formulated a nutritionally complete and appropriate food – it was originally developed for hedgehog rescue centres and wildlife hospitals. If we miss you on the first delivery attempt, we will try again the next working day. Alternatively, you can visit DHLand easily re-arrange your delivery to something which suits you better! You can choose from the following options: Generally, research suggests hedgehogs are better suited to digesting insects than plants. This is probably why they have 36 teeth! 22 of which are sharp molars and premolars, perfect for crunching and chewing their food.Large, hard-to-chew foods – hedgehogs may have plenty of sharp teeth to crunch and chew their food, but their mouth are still pretty small, so they need to be given food in small, bite-size chunks Processed foods – don’t be tempted to feed your hog some of your leftover dinner, this could be toxic or just increase weight gain

THE SPIKE'S FAMILY - At Spike’s, we value the the health and well-being of wild hedgehogs. It is our priority to help facilitate a flourishing future for hedgehogs. Shop the rest of the range for all of your spikey friends needsLots of people tend to think the only thing you can feed hedgehogs is cat food, but there are actually lots of things you can feed them. When purchasing insects for feeding hedgehogs, you can either buy them, dead, alive, or canned. It doesn’t really matter which option you go for, your hog will appreciate you for it either way. A hole cut into the end will allow access for your hedgehog but an additional inner ‘wall’ will stop cats from reaching inside trying to hook out the dish. By leaving the food at the end of a dead end this will also make rats feel nervous and much less likely to raid the bounty. STORAGE - Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight. Once open, ensure the bag is resealed to maintain freshness. An easier option is dried cat or dog food. this is more easily stored and handled and if kept dry will not smell as strong and attract the wrong clientele. Boxes can be sourced easily from most food shops too and are relatively inexpensive.
