Why this hedgehog food?

Hedgehogs are primarily active at dusk and night. During periods when they expend extra energy (for example, after hibernation or in the run-up to colder months), a dedicated feeding station with appropriate food can be helpful. These hedgehog biscuits are designed as a complete meal and contain a high nutritional value per serving.

When do you give hedgehog food?

• Spring : when hedgehogs become active again and natural supplies may still be limited.
• Autumn : when hedgehogs often need extra energy towards colder periods.
• In case of scarcity : for example during prolonged drought or if you notice that there are few insects.

This is how you offer it

• Preferably give at dusk: this suits the natural rhythm of hedgehogs.
• Use a shallow dish or feeding bowl in a quiet, sheltered spot.
• Always place a bowl of clean drinking water next to it.
• It is better to give small portions regularly than a large portion at once.
• Keep the feeding area clean and remove any leftovers to keep it neat and hygienic.

Good to know

• Do not give milk; always choose water.
• This is supplementary feed for wild hedgehogs (not for food-producing animals).
• Make the garden hedgehog-friendly with hiding places (leaves, branches, shrubs) and a small passage under the fence.

Robot mower tip for hedgehog-friendly gardens

Hedgehogs are often active in the evening and at night. Therefore, preferably run a (robot) mower during the day and check edges, bushes, and corners beforehand. This reduces the risk of accidents.

FAQ

How often can I feed hedgehog food?

A consistent routine works best: give small portions regularly in the same spot rather than large amounts occasionally. Keep the feeding area clean and organized.

What do I always put next to it?

Always have a bowl of clean drinking water. That helps in any season, especially during dry spells.

Can a hedgehog have milk?

No, I'd rather not. Water is the safe choice.

How do I prevent cats or other animals from eating my food?

Place the feeding area in a sheltered spot, preferably in or near a feeding station/hedgehog hut with a suitable entrance. Feed at dusk and clean up any leftovers.

When do I seek help for a hedgehog?

If a hedgehog is walking around during the day and is not alert, appears visibly weak or has wounds, it is wise to seek advice from a shelter/animal ambulance.
