    Found a cute little puppy food shop and boutique while I was out today and found some new foods for the hog baby. Stella and Chewy cooked meal topper to serve as part of her nightly meal plate, and Polkadog Wonder Nuggets ideally to be treats for her once chopped in half. Should be delicious! <3...

    I just bought a snuffle mat and a snack board. Both for enrichment but they both require treats. What food can I give my hog more frequently? I don’t want to give her to much of a treat that is supposed to be in moderation like meal worms. Anything work for this?

    Hello! Today I bought my hedgie, Cassie, some new treats. I was making sure these are okay. I read the ingredients which didn’t seem too bad and I figured if something didn’t work out, I could give them to my cat. Cassie would eat them in a limited amount and on rare occasions. Thanks!

    Just wondering what the general opinion is on baby foods for hedgies as a treat. Domino is very anti anything that isn’t her kibble (she will just eat around anything else in her bowl including her old kibble her precious owner left for me). I’ve tried lettuce, blackberries, plain cooked...

    Hi again! I know it has been a bit but I am still deciding whether to get a hedgehog. One thing that has been bugging me to know, though, are their treats for hedgehogs? If not, could they have other pet treats, if so, which ones? I also need to know what food hedgehogs need, have you got any...

    Hi all, Is molasses hedgie-safe? Not alone obviously, but I found a dog treat recipe that is completely hedgie-safe except for molasses. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm reasearching Hedgehogs really hard, before I get mine, but I need to know what to feed my baby as a treat. I already know what regular food to give him/her, but again, I don't know what to give as a treat!

    What is the verdict on grain-free soft chews or other "treats" that promote themselves as being primarily meat-based?

    Questions in bold below...I got my 8-week old hedgie, Poppa, a week and a half ago. He adjusted to his new cage almost straightaway and loves it in there! Clicks/hops/hisses like crazy when I go to pick him up or touch his quills, but I know this is normal with a new hedgie. In terms of...

    Hello- We are new hedgehog owners, having recently adopted a hog from an acquaintance that after 2.5 years felt they were not providing the best care. When he arrived and finally unrolled enough to walk around a little we discovered his back foot was in rough shape. Our vet was able to help...

    Hello! I bought my hedgie fluker's freeze dried crickets. I checked the label when I got home, and saw that they're gut-loaded with calcium. The product is marketed towards reptiles, birds, and tropical fish. Is it safe to give him 1-2 as a treat daily?

    Hey there, So im a pretty new hedgehog owner and the person I got my hedgehog from told me to get https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Blend-Select-Hedgehog-Diet-22-Ounce/dp/B004PBCRRE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1476113980&sr=1-1&keywords=hedgehog+food and he said that cat food will damage...

    My girlfriend and I got our little Mocha about a month ago, and the breeder sent food home with us. The problem is, she refuses to eat anything other than what the breeder fed us, and we are having trouble finding the same food she has been eating. She won't even eat little treats we've gotten...

    Hello everyone! I am new to the community and I am also a new hedgie owner. I just got my adorable little Velcro a few months ago. I am a little concerned that he is underweight. I have looked at a bunch of other posts and I am still a little unsure what I should do, so I thought that I would...

    I hope this is the right place to post this... So today when i was making a new batch of dog treats I got to wondering if anyone makes their own hedgehog treats or thought of doing so. I make all of my dogs and horses treats from scratch so thought it would only be fair if I made Henry some...

    I recently had to take my 2 y/o hedgie Morrison to the vet because I noticed that he was tilting his head to the right, which I read could be caused by an inner ear infection. My veterinarian checked him out and gave me an oral antibiotic to give him for the next couple weeks for the infection...

    My Fiance and I adopted Princess Quillia about a week ago. She is just over 10 weeks old and has a shy personality (according to to the breeder where we got her from). Of course the first few weeks we expected her to be nervous around me when trying to establish a bond. I try to give her the...

    Hi. I am about to get my first hedgehog, and I am really excited. I noticed mealworms seem to be a popular treat. They seem a bit pricey over time, so I think I may try to raise them. Is it worth raising mealworms for one hedgehog? If so, how many do you think I should get to establish a farm...

    Hey guys! I have seen a few people complain about meal worms crawling away and becoming beetles or crickets hopping away! I work at a wildlife center and to prevent that for the wild animals we put the meal worms/crickets in a bowl with really hot water. This kills them almost instantly! It...
