Tropifit Premium Atelerix Dwarf Hedgehog Food

Tropifit Premium Atelerix is a complete daily food developed specifically for African pygmy hedgehogs and other small hedgehog species, including four-toed, long-eared, North African, Southern African, and Somali hedgehogs. Available in two sizes to suit different household setups and feeding routines, it delivers a nutritionally rounded diet without the need for supplementation.

Animal Protein at the Core

The recipe is built around chicken meal and dried mealworms — both named animal protein sources that support energy levels, muscle condition, and day-to-day health. At 34% crude protein and 11% crude fat, the nutritional profile reflects the natural dietary requirements of insectivorous hedgehog species that are naturally active and exploratory.

Gut Health and Digestion

Natural chitin from shrimp shell meal and dried mealworms contributes to healthy gut function — an often-overlooked aspect of hedgehog husbandry. This mirrors the fibrous insect exoskeleton material hedgehogs would encounter in a natural foraging diet.

Skin, Immunity, and Micronutrients

Salmon oil provides omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to support skin condition. Beta-1,3/1,6-glucan from yeast and stabilised vitamin C are included to help support immune function. The vitamin and mineral package covers A, D3, E, and C alongside iron, zinc, manganese, copper, and iodine at clearly stated inclusion rates per kg.

Formulated for Small Mouths

The granule size and texture are specifically suited to the jaw structure and teeth of dwarf hedgehog species, making each piece easy to pick up and chew without wasting food.
