Hi Nic

Thank you for your reply

You posted this which seems to me to be an endorsement of calci-worms

Personally I would not feed too many calci-worms at a time to hogs – you could be exchanging one addiction for another, even though it appears (currently) to be a less harmful one. But less harmful for them to eat calci-worms spilt by the birds than mealworms.

You refer to them as less harmful but you don’t advise not feeding them at all. You say “I would not feed too many calci-worms at a time to hogs”. In other words you would still feed them to hedgehogs.

Their advice is they are very harmful and should not be fed to hedgehogs.

The post I referred was from their Twitter feed. If you check there you will see they have engaged on this matter with others.

I don’t know if you can see link with a photo of their advice on this below. This is posted as a photo on their twitter site.

I am sure she would be very happy to respond if you dm her on twitter, by contact form on website at the bottom of the home page or by phone (listed on How You Can Help).

Thanks again for responding
