If you’re going to purchase or adopt an Algerian hedgehog make sure you talk with your vet or pet store associate ahead of time to find out what hedgehogs eat. It’s a good idea to have food and habitat ready before bringing your new pet home. Typically, Algerian hedgehogs eat a diet of quality protein, low fat and 15% fiber. Hedgehogs living in the wild tend to eat a lot of beetles. You may be able to find hedgehog food at a local pet store, however, some vets have found that a dry low-fat cat formula is often preferred over hedgehog food. When feeding commercial hedgehog food make sure you supplement a variety of other foods like vegetables, mealworms, crickets, cooked meats and fruits to expand the diet. Be sure to feed these foods in moderation and make sure you check with your vet before feeding anything new to your hedgehog. For more information, give your animal hospital Wichita, KS a call.
