Wondering what treats are safe and healthy for your African pygmy hedgehog? Our editorial team researched the best options based on the unique dietary needs of these insectivorous pets. Treats should be high in protein, low in fat, and free from sugars and fillers to prevent obesity and dental issues.
We selected treats that complement a balanced hedgehog diet, focusing on insect-based and meat-based options that mimic their natural foraging behavior. Always introduce new treats gradually and in moderation.
Pro tip Our team suggests rotating between different insect types (mealworms, crickets, silkworms) to provide variety and balanced nutrition. For bonding, offer treats by hand to build trust, but always wash hands after handling insects to avoid bacteria.

How we made this guide
How we chose. We compared the options on the factors that matter most for Small Pets, using manufacturer specifications, aggregated verified owner reviews and editorial comparison. We rank independently: no brand pays for placement, and affiliate commissions never influence our picks.
How it was written. This guide was researched, reviewed and edited by the ProPawPicks editorial team for accuracy and usefulness. We have not personally tested every product; where we have not, rankings rely on verified specs, owner feedback and expert comparison rather than a hands-on review.
