Weight Control Formula
Formulated for adult hedgehogs. Ideal for adults who are overweight or at risk of becoming overweight, as well as healthy adults who consume additional foods like insects which provide a good source of fat.
Short answer: Most hedgies 400g and up.
Standard Formula
Intended for most adults, but especially those that aren't getting / won't eat other supplemental insects / meat / egg etc. This is what I recommend switching to at appx 3 mo, depending on how babies are growing. If you’re feeding other quality foods like whole insects, consider our Weight Control formula. If your baby is still under 300 grams, consider staying on our High Calorie formula.
High Calorie Formula
Formulated for all life stages. Intended for baby hedgehogs (typically up to 3 months), pregnant/nursing mothers, very active adults, and older adults who have trouble keeping weight on.
Short answer: Babies, moms, and most adults under 300g.
