What and when do hedgehogs eat additional food?

Hedgehogs are wild, free-living rodents that readily find sufficient food for most of the year. However, there are times when they readily accept additional food, particularly in spring and late autumn. During both seasons, the natural food supply is limited. While in spring, neither ripe fruit nor ground-level insects are available in large numbers, in late autumn, after the natural crop rotation, food is once again scarce – especially since other small animals, preparing for hibernation, compete fiercely with hedgehogs for the increasingly scarce food supply at this time of year.

By spring, the hedgehog's own reserves are depleted by the winter break. For the new feeding and breeding season, hedgehogs need sufficient new food – which is not always available in sufficient quantities, especially after frosty or long winters.

Hedgehogs give birth to their young in the second half of the year. During the initial breeding season, hedgehogs' nutritional needs are particularly high. Since hedgehogs usually give birth to several young, there is direct competition for food among the young. There isn't always enough food naturally available to sustain all the young through the winter.
