They love meal worms….but don’t..I got me wrist gently slapped for feeding them mealworms last year.
They love them, but will apparently ‘neglect’ their normal diets if they are available.
From experience, calciworms…as a base mixed with any Proprietary branded hedgehog food.
Now the trick, take the gravy from your dog/cat food, mix it with warm water add it to the above…And allow to stand for an hour or so…hoy a very small amount of mealworms in…and serve.
The hogs love it…..but so do the slugs…result well fed hedgehogs and less slug problems….one downside.
It’s a lovely experience sitting in the garden, late at night, glass of wine, watching and listening to the hogs getting ‘tucked in’ …but..crackling on the dried food..as opposed to the crunching and slurping on the ‘natural food’ can be somewhat ‘off putting’
Be warned 😁👍
