Hedgehog won't eat crickets?
Today I bought my Hedgehog a box of live crickets. He is a fan of Meal worms so I thought I would try him with a new treat! But he showed no interest in the insect huffing whenever it jumped near him so I killed the cricket & placed it in a bowl with a meal worm but still no interest in the cricket but he gobbled up the meal worm happily??

Some don't like bugs... Amelia's terrified of them.

Re: Hedgehog won't eat crickets?
Crickets pose too much of challenge for some hedgehogs... mine prefer mealworms, especially dried ones.
I have the same problem with some of my lizards too... and they're supposed to like them, but nope!

Re: Hedgehog won't eat crickets?
I tried live and freezer-killed crickets with my hedgie with no luck. he just ignored them. I had to smoosh them so he could smell the insides and recognize it as food. He loves crickets now, as long as they're pre-squashed.
