Premium Hedgehog Food
Support declining hedgehog populations in your community with Premium Hedgehog Food—a nutritionally complete diet designed to supplement garden-feeding stations during the critical months when hedgehogs are active. Developed with veterinary input, this food provides everything hedgehogs need without the health risks associated with bread and milk or low-quality cat food.
Why Hedgehogs Need Supplementary Feeding
Hedgehog numbers have plummeted by over 50% in rural areas since 2000, with urban populations now crucial to their survival. During dry summers and before hibernation, natural food (beetles, caterpillars, worms) can be scarce. Supplementary feeding at community feeding stations, churchyards, and wildlife gardens provides a vital lifeline—but only if the food offered is nutritionally appropriate.

Did You Know?
A hedgehog needs to eat the equivalent of 50-60 large beetles every night to survive. During pre-hibernation fat-building, they can consume up to a third of their body weight in a single night. Your supplementary feeding makes a genuine difference.
