Hedgehogs are omnivores. In the wild, it mainly feeds on various invertebrates and small vertebrates, as well as grass roots, fruits, melons and other plants. Family feeding can be prepared by yourself, with meat residue, grain and by-products, vegetables and so on in proportion. In addition, caterpillars, beetles, snails, earthworms and other small animals and fruits can also be fed.
If the hedgehog just caught in the wild is domesticated artificially, animal feed should account for 80% of the food, and it can be gradually reduced in the future, increasing the proportion of plant food. The feed must be fresh and clean, and the fruits and vegetables should be washed before feeding. For example, melons and vegetables bought from the market should be soaked in the pool for 1 hour and then washed and fed to prevent pesticide poisoning. At the same time, feed should be diversified, and a single feed will cause hedgehogs to bite each other and refuse to eat.
