WHAT'S IN THE FOOD YOUR HEDGEHOG IS EATING??:
Before I give a listing of what each commercial hedgehog food contains, I wanted to print out some general information of what to look for (and look out for) on food labels. I know this information is also on the diet page of my "Caring For your Hedgehog" website, but I feel it bears repeating. Let the following info be your guideline:
COMMERCIAL FOODS "SHOULD"CONTAIN:
** Superior sources of protein, meaning either whole, fresh meats or single-source meat meal (example, chicken meal rather then poultry meal).
** A whole-meal source as one of the first 2 ingredients (chicken or chicken meal for instance).
**Whole, unprocessed grains, vegetables and other foods. An unprocessed food has a great chance of having its nutrients and enzymes intact.
COMMERCIAL FOODS SHOULD "NOT" CONTAIN:
**Meat by Products. These second-class products are not handled as carefully as whole meat and their nutritional content could be questionable.
**Fats or proteins named generically. For example, "animal fat" or "meat meal" (as opposed to the better quality "beef fat" or "chicken fat" or "lamb meal". The generic term indicates that the ingredient is actually a mixed bag of ingredients, coming from any number of sources.
**Food fragments (brewer's rice, corn gluten, etc.) This item is the least odious on the list. Most foods contain at least one fragment, as makers economize where it least hurts the food.
**Artificial Preservatives including BHA, BHT or Ethoxquin, which according to some homeopathic publications has caused everything from cancer to kidney disease, birth defects, liver disease and so on.
**Artificial colors.
**Sweeteners including corn syrup, sucrose, and ammoniated glycyrrhizin, added to attract animals to unappealing food.
**Propylene Glycol. Toxic when consumed in large amounts, this is added to some "chewy" foods to keep them moist.
It is important to note that not all companies list their ingredients in the same manner. Some give a more specific breakdown then others. Others are very vague about the sources of their ingredients. Useing the guide above, you'll be better equipped to judge the brands of commercial foods you choose to buy.

INNOVA LITE:
It is important to note that the following foods are not hedgehog foods, they are cat foods. But, I feel they are far superior to any of the commercial hedgehog foods I have come across.
No by-products are used, no artificial flavorings, or colors, no chemical preservatives. The grains are whole and what grains are used are much easier to digest then wheat or corn, and far less likely to cause allergies. The meat sources are superior, the fat content is low, plus it has the added benefits of Omega fatty acids, and acidophillous.
INGREDIENTS IN THE ORDER OF CONTENT:
Turkey, chicken, barley, brown rice, chicken meal, potatoes, rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), herring, apples, carrots, milk, fish oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids), sunflower oil, dicalcium phosphate, garlic, alfalfa sprouts, eggs, cranberries (for urinary tract health), natural flavors, DL_Methionine, taurine, sodium ascorbate, dl-Alpha Tocoperol, mannanoligosaccharides, freeze dried Entercococcus faecium fermentation product, freeze dried lactobacillus acidophillus, freeze dried lactobacillus casei fermentation, freeze dried lactobacillus plantarum fermentation, chondroitin and glucosamine (for healthy joints), potassium chloride, choline chloride, calcium carbonate, zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, thiamine monoitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, vitamin D-3, vitamin B-12, folic acid, potassium iodine and biotin.

WELLNESS:
So what goes into Wellness? Human grade ingredients! Only the finest for your pet.
HUMAN GRADE CHICKEN: Chicken meat certified by USDA as fit for human consumption. Highly digestible, an excellent source of amino acids and protein.
HORMONE-FREE LAMB: Hormones are frequently added to animal feed. WellnessŪ uses only certified "Hormone-Free Lamb" and is a highly palatable protein source.
WHITE FISH: A primary source of essential Omega-3 fatty acid and is a highly palatable protein source.
AMARANTH: A superior source of carbohydrates, minerals and rich flavor.
BROWN RICE: A source of carbohydrates, provides quick energy and is loaded with B vitamins and minerals.
FLAX SEED: Also known as linseed, flax seed is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
OATMEAL: A highly digestible source of carbohydrates, protein and nutritional fiber. BARLEY: A highly digestible natural whole grain, providing excellent quality carbohydrates, B vitamins and minerals.
SWEET POTATOES: An excellent source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and beta-carotene.
GARLIC: Provides flavor and helps promote the proper digestion of food.
CARROTS: A natural source of beta-carotene.
SWEET PEAS: Provides flavor and additional fiber from the "Green Vegetable" food group.
FRESH BLUEBERRIES: Fresh blueberries provide flavor, taste and vitamins.
FRESH APPLES: Fresh apples provide flavor, taste and vitamins.
SPECIAL NUTRIENTS & NUTRACEUTICALS: Advanced supplementation based on the most current research.
BETA-CAROTENE: Beta-carotene is an antioxidant. Research shows antioxidants such as beta-carotene neutralize "free radicals" which can cause cell damage.
CHELATED MINERALS: Chelated minerals are more readily absorbed by the body than organic and in-organic minerals. Chelated minerals are more effective in providing proper nutrient balance.OMEGA 6 & 3 FATTY ACIDS: The Omega fatty acids promote a healthy skin and coat and has been reported to decrease arthritic stiffness.
PROBIOTICS & PREBIOTICS: Natural micro-flora such as enzymes and friendly bacteria, help the digestion process by providing more efficient utilization of food. Since bacteria and enzymes are heat-sensitive, they are sprinkled on the WellnessŪ products after the product is cooled to room temperature.
GLUCOSAMINE: Glucosamine is made up of sugars (glucose) and amino acids (glutamine). It is believed to help in the treatment of osteoarthritis by helping to develop healthy bones and cartilage.

INNOVA LITE:
It is important to note that the following foods are not hedgehog foods, they are cat foods. But, I feel they are far superior to any of the commercial hedgehog foods I have come across.
No by-products are used, no artificial flavorings, or colors, no chemical preservatives. The grains are whole and what grains are used are much easier to digest then wheat or corn, and far less likely to cause allergies. The meat sources are superior, the fat content is low, plus it has the added benefits of Omega fatty acids, and acidophillous.
INGREDIENTS IN THE ORDER OF CONTENT:
Turkey, chicken, barley, brown rice, chicken meal, potatoes, rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), herring, apples, carrots, milk, fish oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids), sunflower oil, dicalcium phosphate, garlic, alfalfa sprouts, eggs, cranberries (for urinary tract health), natural flavors, DL_Methionine, taurine, sodium ascorbate, dl-Alpha Tocoperol, mannanoligosaccharides, freeze dried Entercococcus faecium fermentation product, freeze dried lactobacillus acidophillus, freeze dried lactobacillus casei fermentation, freeze dried lactobacillus plantarum fermentation, chondroitin and glucosamine (for healthy joints), potassium chloride, choline chloride, calcium carbonate, zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, thiamine monoitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, vitamin D-3, vitamin B-12, folic acid, potassium iodine and biotin.

No by-products are used, no artificial flavorings, or colors, no chemical preservatives. The grains are whole and what grains are used are much easier to digest then wheat or corn, and far less likely to cause allergies. The meat sources are superior, the fat content is low, plus it has the added benefits of Omega fatty acids, and acidophillous.

AMARANTH: A superior source of carbohydrates, minerals and rich flavor.
BROWN RICE: A source of carbohydrates, provides quick energy and is loaded with B vitamins and minerals.
FLAX SEED: Also known as linseed, flax seed is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
OATMEAL: A highly digestible source of carbohydrates, protein and nutritional fiber. BARLEY: A highly digestible natural whole grain, providing excellent quality carbohydrates, B vitamins and minerals.
SWEET POTATOES: An excellent source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and beta-carotene.
GARLIC: Provides flavor and helps promote the proper digestion of food.
CARROTS: A natural source of beta-carotene.

FRESH BLUEBERRIES: Fresh blueberries provide flavor, taste and vitamins.
FRESH APPLES: Fresh apples provide flavor, taste and vitamins.
SPECIAL NUTRIENTS & NUTRACEUTICALS: Advanced supplementation based on the most current research.
BETA-CAROTENE: Beta-carotene is an antioxidant. Research shows antioxidants such as beta-carotene neutralize "free radicals" which can cause cell damage.
CHELATED MINERALS: Chelated minerals are more readily absorbed by the body than organic and in-organic minerals. Chelated minerals are more effective in providing proper nutrient balance.OMEGA 6 & 3 FATTY ACIDS: The Omega fatty acids promote a healthy skin and coat and has been reported to decrease arthritic stiffness.
PROBIOTICS & PREBIOTICS: Natural micro-flora such as enzymes and friendly bacteria, help the digestion process by providing more efficient utilization of food. Since bacteria and enzymes are heat-sensitive, they are sprinkled on the WellnessŪ products after the product is cooled to room temperature.
GLUCOSAMINE: Glucosamine is made up of sugars (glucose) and amino acids (glutamine). It is believed to help in the treatment of osteoarthritis by helping to develop healthy bones and cartilage.

AMARANTH: A superior source of carbohydrates, minerals and rich flavor.
BROWN RICE: A source of carbohydrates, provides quick energy and is loaded with B vitamins and minerals.
FLAX SEED: Also known as linseed, flax seed is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
OATMEAL: A highly digestible source of carbohydrates, protein and nutritional fiber. BARLEY: A highly digestible natural whole grain, providing excellent quality carbohydrates, B vitamins and minerals.
SWEET POTATOES: An excellent source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and beta-carotene.

Chelated minerals are more effective in providing proper nutrient balance.OMEGA 6 & 3 FATTY ACIDS: The Omega fatty acids promote a healthy skin and coat and has been reported to decrease arthritic stiffness.
PROBIOTICS & PREBIOTICS: Natural micro-flora such as enzymes and friendly bacteria, help the digestion process by providing more efficient utilization of food. Since bacteria and enzymes are heat-sensitive, they are sprinkled on the WellnessŪ products after the product is cooled to room temperature.
GLUCOSAMINE: Glucosamine is made up of sugars (glucose) and amino acids (glutamine). It is believed to help in the treatment of osteoarthritis by helping to develop healthy bones and cartilage.

It is important to note that the following foods are not hedgehog foods, they are cat foods. But, I feel they are far superior to any of the commercial hedgehog foods I have come across. No by-products are used, no artificial flavorings, or colors, no chemical preservatives. The grains are whole and what grains are used are much easier to digest then wheat or corn, and far less likely to cause allergies. The meat sources are superior, the fat content is low, plus it has the added benefits of Omega fatty acids, and acidophillous.
INGREDIENTS IN THE ORDER OF CONTENT:
Turkey, chicken, barley, brown rice, chicken meal, potatoes, rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), herring, apples, carrots, milk, fish oil (source of omega 3 fatty acids), sunflower oil, dicalcium phosphate, garlic, alfalfa sprouts, eggs, cranberries (for urinary tract health), natural flavors, DL_Methionine, taurine, sodium ascorbate, dl-Alpha Tocoperol, mannanoligosaccharides, freeze dried Entercococcus faecium fermentation product, freeze dried lactobacillus acidophillus, freeze dried lactobacillus casei fermentation, freeze dried lactobacillus plantarum fermentation, chondroitin and glucosamine (for healthy joints), potassium chloride, choline chloride, calcium carbonate, zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, thiamine monoitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, vitamin D-3, vitamin B-12, folic acid, potassium iodine and biotin.
