Hi all,
I used to just feed my Hedgehog cat food right out of the box, but by the time my hedgie hit about 1 and a half years old, I noticed that he seemed to be having trouble with his food, sometimes it sounded like he was having trouble chewing it and trying to swollow too big of pieces. Thats when I noticed that both of his front fangs were gone!
I guess they fell out, I'm not sure why or how or when, its one of those things I didn't even notice. His rear smaller teeth seem to all be fine, but what I've done now is I'll throw the cat food in a blender and put it on low to break up the pieces so they're a lot smaller.
He seems fine now eatting the smaller stuff, been doing it for ~6 months, just curious if I should consider going to some soft food? And why did he lose his fangs?
(also, all he'll eat is cat food and hard boiled egg, meal worms he'll chew on but not swallow, can't really get him interested in anything else)
