What are the common foods for hedgehogs?

What will be an ideal response?


Hedgehogs are insectivores and nocturnal. They feed on insects, worms, snails, bird eggs, and small
invertebrates such as frogs and snakes.
Foods formulated for hedgehogs are now available in some localities. These would be the preferred diet.
If these formulated foods are not available, good-quality cooked beef and poultry cut into small pieces are
favored. Other foods that one can try feeding are dry kitten or cat formulas. The commercial foods can be
supplemented with some small pieces of fruits and vegetables. Hedgehogs love mealworms, wax worms, and
crickets. Feed the worms and crickets primarily as treats, two or three at a time, every two or three days.
