Hi IanGee
You seem to have picked out a very old post to add your link to!
Different people have different preferences about what they feed the hogs. There is, of course, hedgehog food widely available these days as well.
The following link is some information about feeding hogs. On the second page you will find information re. phosphorous and calcium. I suggest you do your homework on any cat/dog food you may decide to feed the hedgehogs to find out whether the calcium/phosphorous ratio is a good one. Otherwise a good amount of protein and not too much fat, is probably a good idea.
