You will find varying opinions on what people feed regularly and what people believe are the right thing to do. For me, I go with the group that believes that a regular feeding of kibble, bugs, fruits/veggies is a good way to go to try to provide the nutrients they need.
I feed bugs and fruits/veggies as a regular part of their diet (nightly). How many bugs depends on the type of bug, the size of the bug and the hedgehog. Often with mealworms the amount ranges from 3-6 a night. All dependent on if the bug is a small worm or a big worm and how active the hedgehog is.
Fruits and veggies, I provide a small amount of fresh fruit or vegetables nightly. I vary what I'm feeding or try to give a medley if I have it easily available. On nights that I do not have a lot of time to dice up food, I give a little baby food.
I won't feed beef at all, beef tends to have a lot of fat in it, and always seemed to cause runny stools after wards. I bit of cooked turkey, salmon, chicken (all unseasoned) work fine. For chicken I tend to just save small pieces and boil them for the hedgehogs, then cut up into small bit size pieces.
