The Insectivore Diet: Feeding Tips for Hedgehogs and other Bug Eaters 

Hedgehogs and Insectivorous species thrive on a diet that reflects the diversity of what they would naturally consume.  

For many pet owners, one of the biggest questions is how to combine convenience with good nutrition. Live food can be useful in some situations, but frozen insects and formulated diets can make it much easier to offer consistency, variety and reliable feeding routines.  

Our aim is to help you provide your insect-eaters with a diet that supports health, energy and long-term nutritional balance. 

Why variety matters in an insectivore diet

Feeding a range of options can help you and your insectivore avoid a narrow nutritional profile. They should never rely on a sole food item for their diet, as an array of insects provide different levels of protein, fibre and minerals.  

Our dependable, staple food provides a rotating selection of insects, targeting supplements needed for your insect-eaters diet, including hedgehogs.

Frozen insects for pets: a practical way to add variety  

Frozen insects offer a straightforward way to expand your feeding routine without the day-to-day demands of keeping live feeders. We supply individually quick-frozen insects that have been pre-gut loaded before freezing, giving you a convenient option that still fits naturally into an insect-based diet.

Using frozen insects can help you offer a wider range of prey items, whilst reducing the hassle of maintaining live insects. 

Choosing the right feeding approach 

Every insectivore diet isn’t designed to suit all! Age, activity level and life stage factor in insect eaters contrasting taste palettes. Which is why we offer a combination of frozen insects, specialist insectivore foods and supplements you can choose which fits better.  

Some of our customers use species-specific feeding routines for texture, moisture and portion size. With others using calcium to vitamin support where it’s required.
