Our Hedgehog Muesli is a delicious blend of sunflower hearts, peanut granules, pinhead oats, micronised flaked oats, dried calci-worms, brewer's yeast & fruit essence. This seed and nut mix is fortified with soluble and insoluble calcium to aid bone growth and digestion. Ideal as a tasty supplementary food for your hedgehog visitors.

It is suitable for young and old animals alike and will draw your prickly friends from far and wide to your feeding station.

A particular advantage of the Ark Hedgehog Muesli is that it is much less attractive to cats and can therefore be left out overnight.

Not to be fed as a complete diet. If you are looking for a complete nutritionally balanced food for your hedgehogs we would always recommend the Ark Hedgehog Food Original.

Q: I've heard mealworms are bad for hedgehogs, is this true?
A:
Mealworms are not harmful to hedgehogs unless fed in excess; much like we need to eat salt and fat but too much is bad for us. Mealworms contain beneficial proteins, but only when a little is used as part of a balanced diet.

Q: Does the Hedgehog Muesli attract cats?
A:
No, because the mix is a blend of seeds it is much less attractive to cats.

Q: If there is food left from overnight, will the birds be ok to eat it?
A:
Yes, all the ingredients are perfectly safe and nutritious for the early morning visiting birds.

Q: How can you gauge a hedgehog's weight, ready for hibernation, without weighing them?
A:
If your night-time visitor is round in shape when eating and looks the size of a grapefruit or larger then they are likely to be around 600gms, safe for hibernation. If you are at all concerned about their weight you can attempt to weigh the hedgehog yourself. Please use protective gloves and kitchen scales. If you are in any doubt ring a local carer who can look after a younger, underweight hedgehog.

Q: How can I ensure the safety of my visiting Hedgehogs against natural predators?
A:
With wildlife you cannot 100% guarantee the safety of your visiting hedgehogs. Placing food in a shelter with an entrance hole of 4 and half inches will deter most predators. It is also a good idea to ensure that any shelter is weighted or pinned down so they cannot be tipped over by any larger or stronger garden visitors. Badgers will dig and climb so you may also wish to ensure your perimeter is as secure as possible, again leaving a small gap for the visitors.

Damaging To Hedgehogs
28/03/2019
Reviewed By:
Mrs D

The ingredients of this product are scientifically proven to be both addictive and damaging to wild hedgehogs. The results of much scientific investigation has shown mealworm especially are not only addictive but can cause metabolic bone disease . A debilitating and fatal condition which many rescues have witnessed. The advice to the public from many professional bodies including BHPS is to noT feed them to hedgehogs. They give no nutritional value so save your money and your hogs

Reply from the Ark Wildlife Team:
Ark Hedgehog Muesli does NOT contain mealworms and is a carefully balanced supplementary food fortified with soluble calcium and vitamins to promote active health in hedgehogs.
MBD is caused by calcium deficiency with many causes, an unbalanced diet being one. The feeding of any single food type to the exclusion of others will result in poor health. The example we like to use is that sweets are not harmful to children, unless fed to excess or inappropriately.
As the experts in our field, we take the feeding of wildlife extremely seriously and have many blogs on this subject. MBD is covered in this article: https://www.arkwildlife.co.uk/Wildlife/Post/300/Metabolic_Bone_Disease_MBD_causes_in_Hedgehogs.html

Pleased to say have two hedgehogs returned to the garden after the winter. They tuck in and soon clear the dish of food between them. Need to restock now they``re back.
