Pet hedgehogs have specific dietary needs that should be carefully considered to ensure their health and well-being. Hedgehogs are omnivores, so their diet should consist of a variety of foods including high-quality commercial hedgehog food, insects (such as crickets, mealworms, and waxworms), small amounts of fruits and vegetables, and occasional treats like cooked lean meats. It's important to avoid feeding hedgehogs dairy products, sugary foods, and fatty or salty snacks, as these can be harmful to their health. Providing fresh water at all times is also essential for a hedgehog's diet.
