Guidance on hedgehog feeding

In the past hedgehogs were often fed bread and milk, however we now know that like many humans, hedgehogs are lactose intolerant and eating dairy can result in an upset stomach.

Please do not feed them this!

There are many different brands of hedgehog food on the market and choosing the right one can be daunting. We are currently conducting research with the aims of finding the best possible food and hope to be able to share this information with you soon! But for now, your local wildlife rescue centre should be able to give you some more guidance.

Remember to safely discard any uneaten food and to clean your dishes daily with warm soapy water to kill any bacteria!

If you are new to hedgehog feeding and would like to set up your own feeding station, you can do this in a budget friendly, simple way by following the instructions found here: Feeding Hedgehogs.
