Quick and Easy Fresh Hedgehog Food

Hedgehog foodThis is a great way to make sure you have fresh food for your hedgehog. It's a time saver and easy to do. I tend to have anything from 1-4 hogs in care so batch making food works well for me. I freeze the food in ice-cube trays as it's the perfect portion size and defrosts in 30 mins. 

What you'll need: 

  • Vegetables 
  • Meat
  • Ice cube trays
  • Hand blender

Method:

  • Cook the vegetables 
  • Cook the meat (do not add any seasoning or salt)
  • Put it all in a bowl and blitz with your hand blender until it is in a paste and all large pieces have been broken down. It should have the consistency of a thick pâté. 
  • Spoon the mixture into the ice cube tray and pat down to full all the cubes
  • Freeze and repeat until all the mixture has been made into cubes
  • Pop them all in a ziplock back and keep in the freezer

Take the cube out and place in a bowl about 20-30 minutes prior, it will defrost at room temperature. 

 

I normally make the food cubes with one of the below meats and 2-3 of the vegetables from the below list: 

Meats Vegetables
Turkey Mince Carrot
Chicken  Cauliflower
Beef Mince Sweetcorn
Broccoli 
Peas
Parsnips 

 

No complaints from this madam!
