One thing worth knowing

Store it in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight, and in an airtight container once opened — the blend includes dried fruit and fat, and both can spoil faster than a plain seed mix once the bag is open.

Why we chose it

Being unappealing to cats and dogs solves the actual problem most people run into leaving food out for hedgehogs. It isn't the hedgehog eating it that's usually in doubt — it's whether anything is left by the time one turns up.

— Matt, founder

Full description

Leaving food out for a hedgehog in the garden usually means leaving it out for whatever else turns up first, which is why a hedgehog feed that cats and dogs won't touch is worth more than the ingredient list alone suggests.

This is WildThings' hedgehog blend: Wheat, Poultry Meal, Meat and Bone Meal, Wheatfeed, Whole Maize, Dried Banana, Chicken Fat, Banana Slices, Black Soldier Fly Larvae, Dried Cranberries and Minerals. The analysis gives Crude Protein 25%, Crude Oils & Fats 14% and Crude Fibre 2.6%, and it's described as hedgehog hospital approved and unappealing to cats and dogs. A mature hedgehog is said to eat about 20g each night.

Who it's for: anyone feeding hedgehogs in the garden who wants a blend less likely to be cleared out by the local cats and dogs first.
