With its lovely appearance and docile character, hedgehog is deeply loved by children. Nowadays, some families begin to raise them. So, what if the hedgehog doesn't eat? The following editor will give you a detailed explanation.

What if the hedgehog doesn't eat?

Hedgehogs do not eat need to reduce their animal feed, increase the proportion of plant food. At the same time, the variety of feed should be diversified in order to increase its appetite.

What does the hedgehog like to eat?

1. Hedgehogs are omnivorous animals. In the wild, hedgehogs mainly prey on all kinds of invertebrates and small vertebrates, as well as grass roots, fruits, melons and other plants. Family feeding can be self-made feed, with meat feet, grain and by-products, vegetables and other proportional feeding. In addition, caterpillars, beetles, snails, earthworms and other small animals and fruits can also be fed.

2, animal food is mainly insects, but also eat mice, bird eggs, snakes and so on. Once or twice a year, the gestation period is 35-37 days, and each fetus is 3-6 litters. The newborn cub has a pink body with white soft thorns, eyes are not open, ear holes are not open, and the body cannot be curled up yet. Hedgehogs have hibernating habits. They begin to sleep in October in Beijing and come out at the end of March next year. Before falling asleep, hedgehogs store large amounts of subcutaneous fat, up to 1/5 of their body weight.

3. If the newly caught hedgehogs in the wild are domesticated artificially, animal feed should account for 80% of the food, which can be gradually reduced and the proportion of plant food can be increased. Feed must be fresh and clean, and melons, fruits and vegetables should be washed and fed. For example, melons and vegetables bought from the market should be soaked in the pool for 1 hour, and then washed and fed to prevent pesticide poisoning. At the same time, the variety of feed should be diversified, and a single feed will cause hedgehogs to bite each other and refuse to eat.
