Yes...Mealworms and insects too!!
In fairness, it's natural to think those type of foods would suitable, but I was amazed when I read the various stories about teeth decay due to the sultanas.
These mixes can also cause dangerously high phosphorus levels and weaken bone structure. Shocking!!!
I have since noticed that there are people calling out the sellers now via the reviews Amazon (just as an example shop - I'm not targeting Amazon specificly, but they do sell a lot of these mixes in various brands to the unsuspecting public!).
So thankfully people are starting to push back. I hope people read the reviews first!
But so many still see the pretty Hedgehog on the colourful packaging and naturally assume the manufacturer know what they are doing and put their trust in them.
Can't believe it's allowed???
People buy a few bags and donate these branded Hedgehog mixes to the local Hedgehogs reserves thinking they are doing good, but the workers there have to embarrassingly inform these generous people and decline the food....or they end up just throwing the bags out. What a waste for all involved!
Ive read some people take them and use them in bird feeders instead.
Anyway....I think the point is well made now...watch out for those fancy Hedgehog mixes....they're are not suitable for these little guys.
