Vale's™ Hedgehog Food
Used at Vale Wildlife Hospital
Our new food is used daily at Vale Wildlife Hospital, one of the UK’s largest rescues. Each year they care for 2,000 hedgehogs, helping them gain weight and health before releasing them back into the wild.
It’s made with plenty of meat and fibre, and selected vitamins and minerals – making it one of the best foods for hedgehogs.
Hedgehogs are natural scavengers that eat almost everything they find. Unlike many kitten foods and other pet foods, Vale’s Hedgehog Food contains lower protein and fat and a higher fibre content. This makes it closer to the varied diet hedgehogs find in the wild.
These are small biscuits, easy to store, with a crunchy texture that helps reduce tartar build-up often seen in hedgehogs. Offer a small handful in a shallow dish with fresh water alongside.
Put out in a shallow dish, and enjoy the nightly sight of hedgehogs in your garden while giving them a little help on their way.

Your questions answered
What food is best for hedgehogs?
High protein, dry food makes up for the best hedgehog food, this is because it is complementary to their natural diet.
How much food do you feed a hedgehog?
Offer a small amount (no more than 60g) of Vale in your hedgehog food bowl, per night.
Will cats eat it?
Yes, cats will eat Vale's Hedgehog Food. it's specially formulated for hedgehogs, but it won't cause any harm for cats.
What is the typical food of hedgehogs?
The natural diet of a hedgehog is full of protein and fibre. This means they mostly scavenge for bugs, including earthworms, beetles and caterpillars. This makes them mainly insectivores, but scientists are actually unsure about how to officially class these mammals.
What foods can’t hedgehogs eat?
There are also several foods that you must never give to hedgehogs, such as milk or cheese (hedgehogs are lactose intolerant), raw meat or eggs, raisins or grapes (these are poisonous to lots of animals) and chocolate or junk food. All of these are harmful to hedgehogs, but are often offered by well-meaning people. Hedgehogs also should not be given bread. While it isn't dangerous, it won’t provide them with any nutrition.
Should I offer water to my hedgehogs?
Yes, provide fresh water with their food, alongside their hedgehog house.
