Hi Nic,
I understand what you’re saying, when I talked about treats I didn’t mean I fed them treats every day. I do occasionally offer something different for example if I have chicken myself I put a little aside for the hedgehogs but that would only be once a week at most. The hedgehogs here mostly eat Tesco kitten biscuit with the odd added extra now and again and even though there is a small dish full of kitten biscuit offered daily the hedgehogs are normally rooting around for other stuff. I leave 1/3 of my lawn uncut which is good for beetles, the flower borders covered in bark chips which hold loads of insects under the surface layer. I planted two pampas grass which they nest in so all in all they aren’t doing too badly. Despite the food I provide I would say the hedgehogs spend only 30 minutes a night eating it, the rest of the time they are looking for natural items and do whatever else they do.
