Do Hedgehogs Eat Cat Or Dog Food. Feeding hedgehogs Leave out foods like tinned dog or cat food not fish-based and crushed dog or cat biscuits. There is no benefit to feeding your hedgehog any dog treats or food and it does not meet their nutritional requirements.
Cat food is a good option to feed your hedgehog if you are struggling to find good food to feed them daily. Cat food is considered to be more nutritious than exclusive hedgehog foods that are available in the market today. Dog food is high in fat and realitivly low in protein compared to cat food and is not good for a hedgehogs diet.
They are insectivores and will require nutrients that may be absent in several other pet foods.
Specialist hedgehog food is also recommended and can be bought from wildlife food. Cat food made of poultry as the first ingredient is most preferred. Hedgehogs actually do pretty well on a free-feeding schedule and dry food is ideal for this means of eating. I think they get a better food choice than I do.
