So I've read that vitamins/supplements really aren't neccessary as long as your feeding proper food (see below)
I bought some baby wheat and banana cereal for fiber, which everyone seems to think is alright to use:
But I also know I lot of people use flax seed oil for dry skin and I've also heard of people giving their hedgehogs omega fatty acid supplements (this was from other websites) and I was just wondering what everyone here uses and what the benefits are.Reaper said:If you are feeding a mix of high quality cat foods from my list there is no need for vitamin supplements unless advised to do so by a vet. But generally no supplements are needed.

as well as some organic oatmeal flakes that contain flax seeds and was thinking of feeding the flakes, and then crushing the flax seeds (unless they're safe to feed whole? No one really seems to know lol) and "dusting" the live crickets I feed Puff with the baby cereal (it's a fine powder) and crushed flax seeds for extra fiber + healthy skin. Does this sound like a safe/good idea?SnufflePuff said:It's Heinz "Wheat Cereal with Banana":
