DIET:
- Crunchy cat biscuits
Tinned meat based pet food (white meat flavours such as chicken, turkey or rabbit- not in gravy)
Pet shop brawn for dog/cat - liver flavour
Spikes hedgehog food or other specially prepared hedgehog food
Raw mince
Any raw or cooked meat leftovers - as a treat
Chicken – cooked excluding the bones
A little moistened museli or chopped unsweetened digestive biscuits
The daily meal should consist of meat and fibre from the above list.
Water must always be available from dish sunk in the ground. Preferably in several different places in the garden.
The dish of food should be placed on newspaper under a shed or well into a tunnel if needed put a brick about 5” away from any feeding station entrance to stop cats lying down and reaching in with their paws.
During hibernation hedgehog or cat biscuits should always be left in the tunnel of the hedgehog’s home. When these are eaten give fresh food then return to biscuits when this is no longer taken. Hibernation is not continuous and hedgehogs do sometimes wake up - this uses up energy that will need to be replaced, so they look for food.
