is it okay to feed my hedgehog nurtirent blocks?
I just got a hedgehog and I used to have a rat which I fed these nutrient blocks that are good for it and I was woundering if itd be okay to feed them to my hedgehog
This is what the package says:
Forti diet pro health
With dha omega 3
Supports heart, brain and visual functions
House rat and hamster
No. I don’t know much about nutrient blocks. But I’m guessing that they are hard and designed for a rat/rodent to gnaw on them to promote wearing of the teeth.
Hedgehog teeth do not continually grow like rodent teeth do, they do not gnaw on things. A hedgehog might bite at the block, but I would worry they would break a tooth trying to do so, causing vet bills.
Most items sold for rodents are inappropriate for hedgehogs.
If you haven’t already join one of the web hedgehog forums (http://www.chins-n-hedgies.com or http://www.hedgehogcentral.com and search around for better treats and foods.
