FAQs

Can I feed this to other garden animals?

While formulated for hedgehogs, the ingredients are generally safe for many omnivorous garden visitors, though it is best to stick to specific needs for each species.

Should I moisten the crumble?

There is no need to add water to the crumble, but always ensure a separate bowl of fresh drinking water is available nearby.

How long will a 650g bag last?

Usage depends on the number of visiting hedgehogs in your area; it is intended as a supporting food source rather than the sole supply for a large population.

Is it safe for young hoglets?

Yes, the crumble format is generally easy for younger hedgehogs to manage as they transition to solid foods.

Does it need to be refrigerated?

No, it should be stored in a cool, dry cupboard or shelf, away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Hedgehogs are not eating the food

Ensure the feeding station is placed in a quiet, dark, and undisturbed area, as hedgehogs are shy foragers.

Food is disappearing but not being eaten by hedgehogs

Other garden animals like badgers or local cats may be scavenging; use a hedgehog-proof feeding tunnel to restrict access.

Food is becoming soggy or mushy

Place the feeding bowl under a protective cover or inside a feeding tunnel to prevent rain and dew from compromising the texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High insect content supports natural dietary instincts
  • Added pro-biotics improve digestive efficiency
  • Stable dry format suitable for year-round usage
  • Highly palatable formula encourages garden visitors
  • Energy-dense composition for health maintenance

Cons

  • Requires supplemental fresh water nearby
  • 650g pack size may need frequent replenishment for high-traffic gardens
  • Dry food must be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin feeding, select a stable, shallow dish that is easy for hedgehogs to access without tipping. Place the dish in a quiet, secluded area of the garden protected from cats or other pets. It is highly recommended to provide a separate shallow dish of fresh water, as dry kibble can increase thirst. Store the unused portion of the 650g bag in a sealed container or its original packaging kept in a dry, dark, and cool environment to prevent degradation of the proteins. Ensure all feeding stations are cleaned regularly with a mild, pet-safe disinfectant to prevent the spread of disease among visiting wildlife.
