Contd >> ❤️🦔 This is the hedgehog who came in on 13th, and we posted about him yesterday...😊 💚This was him having his supper last night- isn't he superb...

4 >> 👩Me: "Just noticed the rather artistic poo! 😂" (I'd gone onto laptop, so bigger screen 😁)
🦔Ginny: "Delicate isn't it...🤣" ...

Keep this up little Arran, we are all rooting for you 💚🦔

3 >> 👩Me: "Will help with his fluids too- does he drink much water?"
🦔Ginny: "He drinks well.. it's great that he's started eating wet as well as the biscuits, he should gain weight quicker..."

2>> 👩Me: "And he ate wet food too then?"
🦔Ginny: "Yes, he nearly cleared his dish, it was a small amount but he ate most of it👍"

3 >> Wet meaty cat or dog food in jelly is good for hedgehogs, as it is nutritious, and has all the protein and fats they need. In wet or biscuits-look for the highest % of meat content you can afford (low cereal or grain content). As long as you support feed, use whichever you find most convenient.

2>> Me: "I wonder why he prefers the biscuits? Wet food would be easier to chew?"
Ginny: "Probably because through the winter that was all that was available, as people who have hedgehogs in gardens tend not to put out wet food. Obviously this time of the year most hedgehogs are hibernating... Xx"
