Expert Answer

Hedgehogs are omnivorous, mainly eating insects and earthworms, and also some small animals and vegetables. For a pet hedgehog, buy specialized hedgehog feed and also offer live prey such as crickets, caterpillars, beetles, snails, earthworms, and chicken or fish offal, plus produce like apple, banana, pumpkin, cucumber, and carrot.

In short, feed mainly animal food with plant food as a supplement, and avoid a single food to prevent malnutrition.
