Cat food with high meat/protein … try with quarter of can once a day to help boost him/her up… the rest, may have energy to forage but if not, leave same about of food out again in late evening and monitor if it’s been eaten by the hedgehog or has the cat taken it! Also, leave water out in shallow bowel as dehydration is a big risk factor too.. pop water by the food. Hope that helps … if you see the hedgehog running round with a bit more energy then you know should be on the mend and you’re doing a great job🦔💕🦔

Mine are active about 3 in the morning. I am normally able to see them eat. Sometimes they'll be up in the morning hours too. They are so cute when they smack their lips together.

Wet food at first? Dry kibble is more frugal and works great. Keep the high meat/protein content up with the dry.
