How it compares in Small Animals
Across the 49 rated small animals products we track, the typical score is 4.6 out of 5. This one sits at 4.7, which is around the middle of the category. Ratings alone will not separate it from its rivals here, so price and the specifics below matter more than the star count.
It carries 864 ratings against a category median of 1,338. That is enough of a base to take the score seriously without treating it as settled.
On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £0.91 to £29.99, where the midpoint is about £7.48. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.

Key features, as the manufacturer lists them
Taken from the product listing via Amazon's product API. These are the seller's claims, not our test results.
- [ Nutritious ingredients ] These small hedgehog biscuits are made with plenty of meat, fibre, and selected vitamins and minerals – just what hedgehogs need.
- [ Trusted by experts ] This is the food used daily at Vale Wildlife Hospital, one of the UK’s largest rescues. Each year they care for 2,000 hedgehogs, helping them gain weight and health before releasing them back into the wild.
- [ Specially developed ] Unlike many kitten foods and other pet foods, Vale’s Hedgehog Food is made with lower protein and fat and higher fibre content. This makes it closer to the varied diet hedgehogs find in the wild.
- [ Good for teeth ] A crunchy texture helps reduce tartar build-up often seen in hedgehogs.
- [ Easy to feed ] Offer a small handful (about 60g) in a hedgehog food bowl or shallow dish with fresh water nearby. You’ll enjoy the nightly sight of hedgehogs in your garden while giving them a little help on their way.
