Hedgehogs don't usually need supplements if they're fed a quality packaged hedgehog diet, but your vet may recommend one for certain health issues or if a deficiency is suspected.

What vitamins do hedgehogs need?

Hedgehogs need a variety of vitamins to thrive. A diet with proper levels of vitamins A, D3, E, and calcium is essential for your pet's health, and other trace elements and fatty acids can be beneficial, too. Luckily, a good commercially formulated hedgehog diet should contain everything your hedgehog needs to thrive.

Can I give my hedgehog too many vitamins?

You can give your hedgehog too many vitamins, so talk to your vet before trying supplementation. An excess of vitamins or minerals can lead to serious health problems, so don't give your hedgehog anything new or change their diet without asking your veterinarian first.
