Hi, I would imagine any discussion on any pet or wild animal food will have many opinions and differing conclusions, which is no bad thing. I only give our Hogs a sprinkle of Calci worms with their Hedgehog nibbles. I get the worms from https://www.ivelvalleybirdfood.co.uk/wildlife-and-mealworms/dried-calci-worms.html
They seem a responsible company and provide some useful information on their products. However, I don’t know where they source their worms or what Ca:P ratio they have, although I assume by their nature it will much better than mealworms.
According to a paper by hedgehog-rescue.org ” A healthy balance is a Ca:P of 2:1, 1:1 or at most 1:2″ .
I have emailed Ivelvalley asking for this information.
