Hedgehog Feast

As well as leaving a bowl of water next to the Hedgehog House these are the items I use to feed any visiting hedgehogs:

Description from the CJ Wildlife website:
Supplementary food can be a great benefit when natural food sources are scarce and hedgehogs are preparing to hibernate (from October - December), or when they are emerging from hibernation (February - April). Paté for hedgehogs is a moisture-rich food containing organic meat. This easily digestible food is akin to their natural meaty diet so our prickly friends are sure to enjoy this tasty feast. Simply remove the foil lid and serve! Composition: Meat and animal derivatives from organic chicken and turkey, Minerals and derivatives of vegetable origin.

It is taking a while for Hedgie to get used to the new food. The first night a small amount was eaten and last night half was gone by this morning.
