Default Pygmy Hedgehog Food

Hi all,

picking our APH up in a week, and was wondering which brand of dry food you all use for your hedgies? Found a couple that are 30+% in protein and 10% or less in fat.

congrats on the new addition

i'm currently waiting to own one of these beautiful little creatures

the advice i've been given is to try and mix dry cat food varieties under 10% fat 30% protein - so they don't become to selective

also no cat food with fish products

then obv the extras
