Pretty Pets Premium Hedgehog Food (8 lbs.) Information



Unlike other small mammal pets, hedgehogs have their own feed requirements and nutritional profile which won`t be satisfied by feeding them hamster food or other substitutes. Hedgehogs are by nature insect eaters. While differing insect species very in their fat and protein content, many of the hedgehog feed formulations available commercially are too rich in fat.

These might result in health issues for your pet. Hedgehogs require the proper balance of fat and protein to achieve or maintain optimal health. Thankfully, with Pretty Pets Premium Hedgehog Food from Pet Store, you wouldn`t have to go out and gather insects just so your pet hedgehog can get the proper balance of fat, protein, and nutrients in its diet. Pretty Pets Premium Hedgehog Food is formulated from ground grains, pro-biotic materials, high fiber materials, and a wide array of vitamins.

While there are no grubs or bugs in this formulation, it has the right nutritional profile for your cuddly pet. Packed with protein, it also has digestion-boosting ingredients that ensure effective digestion and maximum gastric health. This feed is also high in fiber which counteracts the effects fatty solutions in the bloodstream. Rounding out the nutritional profile of this well-balanced hedgehog food are Vitamin A for eyes and skin, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) for tissue repair and maintenance, a wide complement of Vitamin B compounds, and a robust list of other vitamins and minerals. Give your pet hedgehog well-formulated feed, give your pet Pretty Pets Premium Hedgehog Food.

Pretty Pets Premium Hedgehog FoodHedgehog Maintenance Formula - In the wild Hedgehogs are insectivorous, which means they eat almost exclusively insects. Insects vary in their protein and fat content and the Hedgehog may choose one over the other. However, in captivity, most of the diets presently being fed to Hedgehogs are extremely high in fat and do not adequately balance out the proteins and fats.

"bittersweet" - Product Review by Linda Eubank (Posted on 6/24/11)

Excellent!

Comments: I was most impressed with the service I received, but the bitter part is that our hedgehog, Turtle, just died yesterday after ingesting a piece of cedar shaving, so never had a chance to try the product. But I also bought Ferret vitamins and ferret food so that has worked out.

"calories?" - Product Review by Jaime Doucet (Posted on 3/9/11)
Rating
Great!

Comments: This might sound weird but I am just a little condense because my boyfriend, mother and I all love and adore my hedgehog and we want him to be healthy and safe. And I know one of the major concerns of the little creatures is obesity. So I am just concerned that they don't provide calories per serving on the package considering its such a concern and such a high risk for them. I like to be faithful to the 70-100 calories they should consume daily.

Comments: This product is a good value that will last a long time, but my hedgehog does have some trouble chewing it. It is a little too hard.

"Good Staple for a Hedgehog" - Product Review by Hannah Black (Posted on 6/2/10)
Rating
Average

Comments: This is the only kibble my hedgehog will eat :D The kibble looks nice and is pretty clean except when you get down to the bottom of the bag there is a lot of loose dusty crumbs. When I was reading through the ingredients I was really disappointed to see that it used genetically modified ingredients. I would definitely recommend feeding a hedgehog supplemental food like meal worms, crickets, or fruit because the kibble looks pretty bland even though it's a great staple.

"This is a good base diet" - Product Review by Crystal Graham (Posted on 2/24/09)
Rating
Excellent!

Comments: Despite what many people say I have not had an issue with using Pretty Pets Premium Hedgehog Food. Breeders and Hedgie owners will swear its not as good as home cooked diets or pricey cat foods but I disagree.
<br />
<br />I have tried expensive Canin and Solid Gold Katz N Flocken food combos for my boys and though they love it, it gives them bad Diarrhea!!! SO bad that I literally have to wash their wheels and blankets every night!
<br />
<br />My hedgehogs eat their Pretty Pets Diet, they are healthy, Active, and Happy. And they do not have any issues otherwise with this food that I have experienced with the diet mentioned above. Along with Pretty pets, I supplement them meal worms, wax worms, crickets, some fresh fruits and veggies when they'll eat them, and boiled egg whites and it is all they need.
<br />
<br />This is the only base diet I feed my little guys and the oldest is almost 5 years old and still as active as ever.

"So far so good!" - Product Review by Lorraine Moore (Posted on 10/27/08)

Great!

Comments: This is the 3rd brand that I have tried for Fred. He ssems to like it and the smell is much better than the other brand that he was on before. His health is great and I'd like to keep it that way. I am not too experienced with hedgehogs but this food seems to be a good and nutritional brand. Once he finishes this bag I plan on buying it again.
