CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How many mealworms should I feed a hedgehog this big? Here are pictures...

Don't release them into the wild, as releasing them means losing the chance of survival. It is better to keep them yourself. As for the number of mealworms, a dozen or so are enough. If you feed too much, the feces and urine will smell bad, and the nutrition will be uneven. It is recommended to feed more wheat, raw melon seeds, peanuts and other coarse grains, as well as fresh vegetables.

Hedgehogs are omnivorous, active at night and sleep during the day. The palm-sized hedgehog has long been weaned and can basically live independently.

Don't disturb it during the day, it will rest in the box. Feed it in the evening, not just mealworms, but also various fruits, small fish and shrimp, raw lean meat, other small insects, earthworms, etc. You can put a little more food, it won't eat itself to death.

It should be noted that hedgehogs are not easy to keep alive in a house environment, and they smell very bad, so it is recommended to release them. You can find a remote grove, hill or wasteland and release them.
