Original Hedgehog Food 1kg from Ark Wildlife
100% natural, complete, nutritionally balanced Hedgehog Food. The natural ingredients together with the addition of essential vitamins and minerals boosts hedgehog health and it is completely free from artificial colourings, flavourings and preservatives.
Hedgehogs as a species are in dire trouble in the UK and really need our help to survive, feeding hedgehogs in our gardens is one of the ways we can help. What we feed to hedgehogs can really impact on their health and well being, we want to help but some of the older advice on what is healthy for hedgehogs has been wrong. Hedgehogs, like us, need a balanced diet to remain healthy. Complete foods are the easiest way to ensure you are feeding hedgehogs with food that is nutritious.
Hedgehogs may also suffer with dental problems, the size and shape of these crunchy biscuits are designed to assist with dental hygiene, while remaining highly palatable to hedgehogs of all ages. Older, younger or infirm hedgehogs may benefit by soaking the Hedgehog Food in warm water for a few minutes before serving.
This food was developed for rescue centres and wildlife hospitals but Ark Wildlife have now made it available for feeding wild hedgehogs in the garden.
If ground feeding at dusk bring any left over food inside after the hedgehogs have had their fill or place in a secure box to prevent feeding rats.
How to Feed
Hedgehogs are foragers by nature and will look for food from various sources and a healthy hedgehog will only need supplimental feeding. They will visit a feeding station around 2 or 3 time a night and feed for 5-10 minutes at a time.
Offer up to a handful of Original Hedgehog Food per visiting hedgehog per night, that will be plenty to help ensure the hedgehogs in your garden get a healthy top up treat alongside their natural foraging diet.
Always offer clean fresh water whenever you feed.
