My Prickles will only eat this! I tried the Hedgehog Complete and she went on a hunger strike for about 1 week until I got this one again. She is in hedgehog heaven again. - Diane W.

My sons (geriatric) hedgehog LOVES this food! They sent a sample a long time back of this and she loved it, so I started ordering it for her. She is quite old for a Hedgie and I attribute that to a proper diet (always have ordered her balanced diet through Exotic Nutrition), exercise (even her Silent Spinner wheel is from Exotic Nutrition), and proper care. - Rene W.

Tawny loves this food!!! - Brenda B.

The same as the one other comment, I had been using the Hedgehog Complete food and my girl ate some but never the full amount I gave her. She would just pick out what parts she wanted. Then I got a trial pack of the ZooPro food and she ate all of it and did not ever touch her old food again! It also makes less crumbs which is a plus. -Elizabeth G.

I used to use the "Hedgehog Complete" food and that was fine. My hedgehog ate most of it, but you could tell he wasn't always thrilled. With this new food however, "ZooPro Hedgehog Essential" he goes absolutely nuts. He loves it. I'll be sticking with it! -John S.
