Why Choose Chubby Mealworms?
Brambles Crunchy Hedgehog Food
5kg Bag — Scientifically Formulated Dry Kibble for Wild Hedgehogs
Brambles Crunchy Hedgehog Food is a premium complementary feed specially formulated to support the health and vitality of wild hedgehogs visiting your garden. Developed using the latest scientific understanding of hedgehog dietary needs, this dry kibble provides an expertly balanced blend of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals — everything a hedgehog needs to thrive.
Unlike many general wildlife foods, Brambles Crunchy is specifically free from mealworms and peanuts — ingredients known to cause metabolic bone disease in hedgehogs due to their imbalanced phosphorus-to-calcium ratios. It's a diet you can feel genuinely good about putting out every evening. The smaller-sized, crunchy kibble also actively supports dental health by reducing plaque build-up and keeping gums in good condition.
Approved by wildlife hospitals and rescue centres across the UK, and made right here in Great Britain, this 5kg bag offers exceptional value for committed wildlife gardeners who want to make a real difference to local hedgehog populations.

Trace Elements & Minerals (per kg)
Each evening, offer approximately one handful of food per hedgehog in a shallow dish placed in your garden.
Always provide a separate shallow dish of fresh water alongside the food — particularly important during warm weather and when feeding dry food.
Brambles Crunchy can be fed on its own or mixed with Brambles Meaty Hedgehog Food for added variety and flavour. Allow a few days for hedgehogs to adjust to a new food source.
To deter cats and dogs, create a simple feeding station from a plastic box with a 13cm hole cut at the base of one end. Weigh it down to prevent larger animals from gaining access.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bag sealed between uses to maintain freshness.
