Hi Jenny,
I was initially dubious about the dried food as well, but I read a lot of things saying it’s fine. I leave water very close by, a shallow litter tray with a rock in it to aid any insects to climb out. It’s already shallow enough for hedgehogs to scramble out. My hedgehogs tend to eat and drink a lot, then go for a nap in one of the hedgehog houses, so I hope they are staying sufficiently hydrated. I’ve not deliberately moistened the dry food, although I guess it becomes slightly moist from the dew… I didn’t think they would still eat it if it got wet, my cats won’t touch their food unless it’s perfectly dry so I think I thought hedgehogs would be the same… I have tried them on pouches of wet food and they just totally ignored and continued eating the dry.
