Your hedgehog’s diet is very different from other small, cute mammals such as guinea pigs, hamsters or rabbits. He is an insectivore so his diet must include high-quality meat protein such as chicken and lamb. You can give your hedgehog cat or dog kibble but you’ll need to break it up. Your hedgehog has a small mouth and won’t nibble like rodents do. The best choice for your hedgehog is a high-quality hedgehog pellet since they provide the right amount of protein. These pellets are hard so they keep your hedgehog’s teeth clean as the hard exoskeleton of insects would. Consider feeding your hedgehog freeze-dried insects as a treat if you aren’t squeamish. Ensure that your hedgehog’s pellets are fresh and that he has access to fresh, clean water. Use portion control to keep your hedgehog from getting obese. Abnormal feces can signal that you need to adjust your pet’s diet. Contact your Bourne, MA vet to learn more. Or set an appointment at this website Sandwich Animal Hospital Inc..
