While they can occasionally eat small amounts of lean meats like beef as a treat, it should not be a significant part of their diet. Their main diet should consist of high-quality hedgehog food, insects, and fruits. Always consult with a veterinarian or an expert on hedgehog care for specific dietary recommendations for your pet hedgehog.

Consulting with a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets can provide you with personalized dietary recommendations for your hedgehog.
