Hedgehogs feeding time
21/02/2012
Jay was supposed to go on a vacation with her parents in Cameron Highland on February 28. But the thing is, the hotel she booked allows no pet inside the room. So she can't possibly bring me along this vacation. Since i already have a huge water bottle, my only problem here is where am i supposed to get my food? O_O;;;; Put 3 days portion into my bowl? Yeah right, i wont eat things that have been on the ground. And LOTS of food get thrown to the ground while i'm eating. :D
So Jay took the initiative to buy me an auto feeder or food dispenser. Just the old school plastic one, not the one we could set the time on it and everything. Its in pink, yes, everything i own is pink, and it could hold a lot of cat food ^^;;;;;
What other things i can eat? Hedgehogs can eat a variety of human foods. If you aren't sure if a food is safe, don't give it to me. Otherwise i'll get diarrhea. Some acceptable treats are cooked peas, cooked carrots, cooked squash, cooked sweet potato, UNSEASONED meats of a chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, pork, salmon, tuna, banana, cranberries, grape pieces, kiwi, watermelon, pear, apple slices, strawberry, hard boiled eggs, baby food, cottage cheese, aaaand yogurt. BUT never feed your hedgehog chocolate, caffeine, nuts, seeds, onions, raisins, bread and cow based milk.
Here are some of the things I eat :
If your hedgehog won't eat Mealworms, there are three things you can do-
1. Wait. Sometimes hedgehogs won't eat something one day and the next day it's the best food ever.
2. Warning: This may sound gross. You can cut or break the mealworm in half, then rub it on the hedgehog's lips. This will give it a taste of the mealworm. Sometimes hedgehogs simply don't eat mealworms because they don't know they can.
3. Give up. Some hedgehogs just don't like mealworms!
