Hi KM-Basingstoke
It doesn’t sound terribly helpful them being scathing! You can’t know about something until you find out about it!
But, yes, as things stand, anyone can pretty much put a food together and call it hedgehog food, so generally it’s the meaty type ones which are usually recommended. Probably similar to cat/dog food which may be cheaper. The important thing is that they do not need any extra ‘treats’ on top of those.
Water is best left available for the hogs all day every day.
Here are some links (one on next post – the Forum doesn’t like more than one link per post!).
