Description
Brambles Crunchy Hedgehog Food — Balanced Complementary Feed For Garden Wildlife
Brambles Crunchy Hedgehog Food is a complementary food specially formulated to give the right balance of nutrients, vitamins and minerals for wild hedgehogs. Thanks to its crunchy texture it is also great for dental health, and it is suitable for badgers and foxes too, making it best for gardens, smallholdings and yards where several nocturnal visitors share the same feeding spot.
It arrives as a dry mix that can be scattered or served in a shallow dish inside a covered feeding station, and it is recommended by wildlife rescues. If you look after horses as well as hedgehogs, you will find more yard and stable essentials in our stable and yard collection.

FAQ
Is Brambles Crunchy Hedgehog Food a complete diet?
No. It is a complementary food designed to support the natural diet of wild hedgehogs, so it is fed alongside the insects and invertebrates they forage for themselves.
Why is a crunchy texture better?
The crunchy texture gives hedgehogs something to chew as they eat, which is great for dental health compared with soft or jellied foods.
Can badgers and foxes eat it?
Yes. The food is also suitable for badgers and foxes, which makes it useful where more than one species visits the garden or yard after dark.
How much should I put out each night?
Start with a small handful in a shallow dish and increase only if it is cleared by morning. Feeding to appetite this way avoids leftovers attracting other animals or spoiling.
Do hedgehogs need water with their food?
Yes. Always provide a separate shallow dish of fresh water. Milk and bread should never be offered as hedgehogs cannot digest them properly.
How should the food be stored?
Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and out of reach of dogs, cats and rodents.
