But what to feed them?

You can buy commercial tins of hedgehog food, (the popular one in the UK is called 'Spikes Dinner'). This is a very good way, as you can be certain the hedgehogs will like it and that it is safe. You can by either a 'wet' meaty version in a tin, or a dry mix. Bread and milk is a popular one, but some tests suggest that milk can give hedgehogs 'upset tummies'. It would seem that the best food for hedgehogs is Spikes Dinner. Always ensure you put out a shallow dish of water out if you are feeding hedgehogs.
