This without a doubt is the preferred food the numerous hedgehogs that live in and visit my garden want. I've tried all of the alternatives including the usual dog/cat food and nothing is liked as much.Now, I appreciate that some have issues - which I don't subscribe too - but in my case all I've seen is an increase in numbers where I live. Not just adults but over the last couple of years I've seen far more young hogs around which is in part due to making sure they have a reasonable supply of food and water to help them during the lean times which is the immediate post winter and then birthing times.There is a secondary bonus which, is that cats don't seem to like this and that's a good thing. I've used other foods such as cat biscuits and hedgehog dried food but all this does is to increase visits by the feline pests.Now, I do suspect that because the hedgehogs love this so much that they will over eat it and that means making sure that you put out enough to help hedgehogs but not give them health problems.Overall in my opinion from what I have seen with the increase in numbers in my garden and wood - I have a large bit of land - I highly recommend it.
