I’ve been seeing a lot of ads for Farmers Dog and decided to look into it more. The ingredients seem really natural, with things like fruits and veggies. I was thinking about trying the turkey and chicken recipe for my hedgehog. I thought it might be a great way to add variety and improve her overall diet. Would this be a good idea? If you have any advice or questions that could help me decide, let me know. Thanks for the help!
Why not go with Mazuri hedgehog food and add fruits and insects on the side? That way, you’re giving it a balanced diet made specifically for hedgehogs.

Exactly. Hedgehogs are insectivores, and many end up malnourished if their diet isn’t right. Cat food was a decent option before we had better choices, but dog food won’t provide the right balance. Mazuri is specially made for them and works really well.
I don’t think it would hurt, but I’d make sure to add mealworms or another insect to boost the protein level.
