Re:Food limiting age! - 2007/05/29 10:13
Also, be aware that a young hedgehog can eat as much as an adult, because they are still growing. It has been vet recommended that you not keep a hedgehog's food "on tap" and make sure to limit it to an adult's feeding size regardless of her age, because they are prone to obesity.

Babies can eat an astonishing amount and while they are growing you need to make sure they have food available at all times. They do have growth spurts during the first year where they will all of a sudden start eating more. If you have a hedgehog that runs a lot on his/her wheel they are burning lots of energy and you really need to be sure they have adequate food. If you see them getting porky, that would be the time to limit their food intake.
