The eating habits of hedgehogs are very miscellaneous, such as insects, mice, snakes, frogs, earthworms and the internal organs of some animals are the favorite delicacies of hedgehogs. Artificially prepared feed can choose crushed corn and sorghum as well as all kinds of flour and fruits to mix well, and mix animal and plant feed in proportion when feeding. After one-time feeding every evening, hedgehogs also have requirements for daily nutrient intake, and the daily food protein content can not be less than 30%. Wild hedgehogs are mainly fed with animal feed at the beginning. In the later stage, the animal feed is gradually reduced and the plant feed is gradually increased.

2. Cleaning management

The food in the feed that hedgehogs eat every day must be washed and then made, such as some melons and fruits must be washed clean, otherwise it is easy to make hedgehogs sick, and we should pay attention to the time when hedgehogs eat, because hedgehogs are nocturnal animals and their activity during the day is not strong, so it is best when we feed them in the evening, we can feed feed and water at one time, and the feed should be diversified, not too single. Avoid the phenomenon that hedgehogs bite and refuse to eat each other.

The most common diseases of hedgehogs are gastroenteritis, dermatomycosis and ascariasis, but there is nothing else. You can feed some oxytetracycline or gentamicin at ordinary times, and you can apply some ointment to treat skin tinea. Ascariasis can be fed to Ascaris lumbricoides net to kill Ascaris lumbricoides, every year to hedgehog deworming work to prevent the disease inadvertently invading.

4. Construction of garden house

The choice of the farm can be in the courtyard, or you can use bricks to code a small garden with a height of one meter, to ensure that there is no leakage, and to build it closely, and you can put some leaves in the garden house to make a nest for hedgehogs.
