Developed using the latest scientific understanding of hedgehog dietary needs, this dry kibble provides an expertly balanced blend of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals — everything a hedgehog needs to thrive. Unlike many general wildlife foods, Brambles Crunchy is specifically free from mealworms and peanuts — ingredients known to cause metabolic bone disease in hedgehogs due to their imbalanced phosphorus-to-calcium ratios. It's a diet you can feel genuinely good about putting out every evening. The smaller-sized, crunchy kibble also actively supports dental health by reducing plaque build-up and keeping gums in good condition. Approved by wildlife hospitals and rescue centres across the UK, and made right here in Great Britain, this 5kg bag offers exceptional value for committed wildlife gardeners who want to make a real difference to local hedgehog populations.

Allow a few days for hedgehogs to adjust to a new food source. 4 To deter cats and dogs, create a simple feeding station from a plastic box with a 13cm hole cut at the base of one end. Weigh it down to prevent larger animals from gaining access. 5 Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bag sealed between uses to maintain freshness. What NOT to Feed Hedgehogs ⚠️ Foods to Avoid The following common garden foods can cause serious harm to hedgehogs — particularly metabolic bone disease from calcium-to-phosphorus imbalances: Mealworms Peanuts Sunflower Hearts Raisins & Sultanas Bread & Milk Salty or Sugary Foods Why choose Brambles Crunchy Hedgehog Food?

The 5kg bag is ideal for households that feed year-round or those with multiple regular visitors. Brambles Crunchy Hedgehog Food is one of the best-reviewed hedgehog foods available in the UK, stocked by the RSPB, wildlife sanctuaries, and specialist pet retailers nationwide.
