Spike's Delicious Crunchy Dry

Spike’s Hedgehog Food is a fantastic choice for feeding wild or pet hedgehogs, packed with nutritious ingredients including real chicken to provide high protein. The crunchy dry pellets are designed for both adult hedgehogs and hoglets, offering a balanced diet high in fibre to aid digestion. Users report that hedgehogs love the taste and the food encourages regular visits, helping keep them healthy and active. The food is also formulated to be good for dental health and does not attract flies, which is a big plus for outdoor feeding areas. The large 2.5kg bag offers excellent value, and the product is UK-made, trusted by wildlife carers and enthusiasts alike. It’s a reliable, nutritious option for anyone wanting to support local hedgehog populations with quality food.

Great food for hedgehogs and it contains all the right ingredients unlike other brands. Quick delivery and good price, pack size lasts a long time and we have 2-5 regular hedgehogs visiting nightly.

My visiting hogs absolutely love this and will often wait until I come out to feed them if I’m a bit late. They are creatures of habit and tend to come for their Spike at the same time each evening. I put down enough food that there is a very small amount left in the morning. This way I know they have had enough. Spike is much better than any moist food/cat/dog - especially for young hogs growing their teeth. Hogs need sharp strong teeth to eat their natural food of crunchy beetles! However, because Spike is a complete dried food, hedgehogs will eat less natural food (from which they would derive much of their moisture intake), its therefore vital to ensure theres a pond WITH A SLOPE/RAMP so they don’t drown or large dog bowls of water - (which they also like to wash in!) Another very good advantage of dried Spike is hogs are very prone to FLY STRIKE. In warm weather, even on summer evenings, moist food more easily attracts blow flies. Hogs then pick up the eggs as they eat the food and can commonly get a fatal attack of fly strike (where maggots hatch out in their spines and face fur). Hogs are also very prone to Lungworm too, so its worth placing the bowl of food on sand to deter slugs which pass on this fatal disease to hedgehogs (I NEVER use slug pellets as Hedgehogs eat slugs and are at great risk of secondary poisoning although it should be said that hedgehogs actual do not like slugs very much (they only form a small fraction of their diet) they prefer beetles, so a nice large log pile and dry sandy areas for beetles will help provide the best diet for hedgehogs along with their nightly Spike. I keep Spike in a large plastic tub (an empty fatballs bird food tub) and use usually one plastic tumbler per number of visiting hedgehogs each evening. Each morning before the Magpies and Blackbirds descend into the garden, I just check to see how much food has been eaten and moderate it the next evening if necessary. Spike is enough of a good complete and apparently very tasty meal for Hogs that I very rarely supplement it with any mealworms since these swell up in their bellies and are probably the equivalent of kids eating too many cheese puffs! Since using Spike, Ive never varied the food of my regular hogs since even the smallest change (ie to pet food or moist food ) can upset their tummies - I think its the best food out there, it may not be the cheapest but its worth it to help stop these beautiful creatures from disappearing from our gardens and countryside for ever.

Hedgehogs eat it though I can’t vouch for the taste!

Hedgehog 🦔 loves this food. Stored in a strong bag the quality is excellent, there is no waste at all, the Hedgehog always leave a clean bowl.. Definitely appreciated by the Hedgehog's.

Ami erizo le encanta

Nous avons 3 hérissons adultes dans notre petits jardin que nous avons élevés au biberons car leur mère est morte lorsqu'ils avaient 4 semaines, et nous nous sommes prises d'affection pour eux ma fille et moi, petits ils sont extrêmement affectueux, attachants, bref adorables. A présent adultes (3 ans), toujours aussi attachants, ils vivent leur vie au jardin (et rentrent dans la maison quand la porte-fenêtre est ouverte) nous continuons à les nourrir car leur espace vital est réduit et les proies de plus en plus rares, surtout l'été, très sec ici. Soucieuse de leur bien-être nutritionnel, j'ai toujours voulu leur donner ce qu'il y a de mieux, et surprise, j'ai appris que cette marque SPIKE'S est conseillée par la société protectrice des hérissons en GB (le hérisson est là-bas une cause nationale, tandis qu'en France on lui accorde bien peu d'intérêt et oublie qu'il est en péril, que c'est un animal protégé). Depuis que je les nourris, j'ai acheté toutes leurs croquettes en GB sur le net, il n'y en a pas en France. On trouve bien une marque allemande de nourriture, cette sorte de poudre mélangée à des vers de farine, vers de farine séchés qui provoquent chez eux une maladie des os bien qu'ils en soient friands, donc à éviter. Les croquettes pour chats seraient l'alternative la moins pire, mais leur composition n'est pas idéale pour les hérissons. Dommage que depuis le Brexit il soit de plus en difficile de s'en procurer, je n'en trouve plus sur Amazon mais sur Ebay avec frais de port et droits de douane faramineux ! Si Monsieur Jeff Bezos pouvait me lire... Hey Jeff, could you add an Amazon "wild hedgehogs" dry food range for the EU market please ?You have nothing to loose, on the contrary, in Europe we are very numerous to feed hedgehogs settling in our gardens because starving (destruction of their habitat, lack of prey because of pesticides and so many other factors), they are threatened and have a total protection status in the whole European Community. I think about it because after feeding my cats with all possible brands looking for quality and fair price, I discovered that yours are well-balanced and tasty, my fattest and most fussy cat loved them and lost weight, that's saying something. Since the Brexit, The Brits, who are the most invested in the hedgehog cause, don't want to/can't sell us their wild hedgehog dry food (they are the main manufacturers) nor their food like vinegar chips which I love, but we'll get over that, (nor their plants which is unfortunate because they have the most beautiful nurseries, and are wonderful gardeners). Thanks to you Jeff :-) But if you're going to do it, do it right, ok, these little prickly little animals are fragile and need the healthier food !❤️ Greetings from the southwest of France. P.-S. I won't ask you for any profit on this future range, but you could distribute some of the food to the many volunteer shelters that take care of hedgehogs, and who knows, publicity could restore your image with the booksellers, and many more :-)

On avait vu un petit hérisson manger les croquettes du chien dans le jardin, nous nous sommes renseignés et la nourriture pour chien n'est pas vraiment adapté pour eux. Nous avons acheté ces croquettes et depuis on l'a vu manger ses croquettes et le chien mange les siennes, tout le monde est content.
