National Trust Hedgehog Food Biscuits 600g

Built to restore strength in hedgehogs

When a hedgehog curls up to hibernate, it survives entirely on its own reserves. By spring, it may have lost up to 40% of its body fat, an incredible feat, but one that leaves it in real need of a nourishing, energy-rich meal. That’s where these National Trust Hedgehog Biscuits step in, offering a timely boost just when hedgehogs need it most.

Part of the National Trust Garden Wildlife Range, this carefully developed recipe is rich in goodness, with 36% protein to help rebuild muscle, restore condition and support overall health. It’s a powerful way to help hedgehogs recover after hibernation and prepare for the busy breeding season ahead.

Each biscuit contains a complete blend of nutrients, so hedgehogs can’t pick out favourites and miss the rest. Every bite delivers a balanced meal, making feeding simple, effective and reassuring.

Designed for the seasons

These biscuits fit naturally into a hedgehog’s yearly cycle. Offer them in late summer and autumn to help build vital fat reserves ahead of hibernation, then again in spring and summer when hedgehogs are active, feeding and raising young.

As temperatures drop, hedgehogs will retreat to sheltered spots, often in leaf piles or under hedges. Any unused food can be stored and brought out again when they reappear, ready to refuel.

Easy to serve, easy to support

Simply place the biscuits in a shallow dish so hedgehogs can reach them comfortably, and always provide fresh, clean water alongside. Position your feeding spot in a quiet, sheltered area to help them feel safe while they eat.

For a neat and practical setup, pair with the National Trust Vierno Hedgehog Feeding Dish, designed to keep food protected and create a consistent feeding area in your garden.
