No milk or bread today. It makes hedgehogs ill!
Many people now thankfully, know that bread and milk is a ‘no-no’ for hedgehogs. There are others who simply do not know it can be harmful for them. Being lactose intolerant, too much can give them diarrhoea!
Download poster here No-Milk-or-Bread with thanks to Royston Robertson Cartoons. who kindly sent me the poster.
If you want to feed the hedgehogs a nutritional food you can use my recipe which they loved! A mixture (all organic), muesli, rape seed oil, crushed almonds, sunflower hearts, crunchy peanut butter, dried mealworms, all soaked in hot water to provide moisture (although I have a pond 3 feet away!) drained and mixed to form a moist crunchy spread. Hedgehogs absolutely love it! Cats pass it by!
NB. No more bacon rind (salt)!!
Or buy from a reputable supplier such as Haith’s hedgehog food
To watch as you feed see my Hedgehog Feeding Station at work!
