Fruit - 2008/02/28 13:41 I was wondering, can hedgies eat too much fruit?? Hazel likes melons, so far I've just given her a few tiny peices at a time How much is too much? and is it okay for her to eat it everyday or should it be like mealworms, an occasional treat?

Thanks, Lori LORI, SOUTHINGTON, CT

Re:Fruit - 2008/02/28 14:31 fruit should be an occasional treat. you don't want to feed your hedgies too much vegetation. they need a larger amount of protein than anything else. a "few tiny pieces" is okay. just remember that hedgies have small stomaches so keep the treats to a minimum. Lisa
