Hedgehog Food Original was initially developed for rescue centres and wildlife hospitals but we`re delighted to also make it available for feeding wild hedgehogs in the garden. Hedgehog Food Original is a complete, nutritionally balanced, 100% natural Hedgehog Food which actively promotes animal health and vitality.

The natural ingredients are boosted with the addition of essential vitamins and minerals and it is completely free from artificial colourings, flavourings and preservatives. The size and shape of the crunchy biscuit is designed to assist with dental hygiene, whilst still being highly palatable to hedgehogs of all ages.

Young or infirm hedgehogs may benefit by soaking the Hedgehog Food in warm water for a few minutes before serving. Approximately a handful of food per visiting hedgehog per night will be sufficient.

Hedgehogs are regular foragers, they tend to come and feed for 5-10 minutes, then wander off, possibly visiting the feeding station 2-3 times a night. Their ‘little and often’ approach means that if one source of food dries up, they will already be aware of several sites to visit.

In recent years more incidences of Metabolic Bone Disease are being reported. A naturally balanced diet is required to avoid this syndrome and you can read more about the condition and how to prevent it in our blog article MBD. Ark Hedgehog Food Original has been specifically formulated for hedgehogs and will help fight against such conditions and boost their overall health.
