No!!  It is the worst food you can get!! Hedgehogs are CARNIVORES! They like meat!!  The first couple ingredients are puffed wheat and peanuts!!  Mostly weight control cat foods are good for your hedgehog.  They have high protein and low fat which is what hedgies need.  Royal Canin Slim 38 for cats is the best food you can get for them.

I don't know what that is but most likely, no. Hedgehogs are insectivores, they eat mainly insects. They like mealworms, but it's bad for them if they get too much.

Vitakraft is certainly the worst food the feed a hedgehog.  Hedgehogs have been known to choke on it.  The best foods are high quality low fat cat foods, such as Royal Canin Slim, Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul Lite, Wellness Lite, Solid Gold (they don't have a lite but the fat content isn't very high), and many others.  You want at least 2 types.  For more information on how to properly care for a hedgehog (since many many many websites and books have outdated info) the best places to go are www.chins-n-quills.com and www.hedgehogcentral.com .  Hope this helps!
