## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the nutricional values of this feed?**
A: Hedgehogs absolutely love this, (so do the blackbirds and local cats if they can get to it)  I feed it in a bowl under a 10cm high table with  legs around it 20cm apart.  This keeps it exclusively for the hedgehogs (and blackbirds if left out during the day).  It is made with Poultry meat meal, wheat, wheatfeed, whole maize, rice, poultry oil, brewer's yeast and whole linseed.  with added vitamins.  Composition: Crude Protein 25%, Crude oils and fats 12% Crude fibres 3% and Crude Ash 7%. I leave out a good handful each night and it is usually mostly all gone in the morning and regularly see a hedgehog eating it in the late evenings.  Please contact me again if you have any further questions.

**Q: How do you prevent rats from being attracted to this food? I'm concerned it would attract vermin.**
A: Make sure you put the food out in the open, like the middle of the lawn - rats always stick to the edges

**Q: Is this fish or meat based?**
A: Spikes Delicious Complete Dry Hedgehog Food is Poultry and Meat based. There is no mention of fish on the ingredients.

**Q: Does this food need to be kept dry when outside?**
A: Ideally as it is a dry food, otherwise it goes to mush, although my hedgehogs still ate it wet.  Sometimes I put it under a bush if it's drizzle, but a challenge in torrential rain.
