I always thought it was to do with them not being able to fully digest the food and protien levels etc.
At the end of the day it may be worth cutting your loses and not feeding it to them to be on the safe side and help avoid any extra vet bills down the line.

I take in rescue native hogs and I just figured it was because they wouldn't get fish in the wild rather than there being tonnes of science behind it but there we go.
On a side note, as somebody else mentioned it. Slugs and snails are not really favoured by hedgehogs and they are a major cause of lungworm, which kills a huge number of native hogs every year.

Great to meet a fellow carer, Shell. Things are pretty quiet here but there are a few people who take them in in Norfolk including a woman who recently opened a rescue centre so I think a lot of them go to her.
