These animals are nocturnal, so you will be doing the majority of your bonding in the evening hours. They will get used to your scent more quickly than anything else. Combining the hedgehog's olfactory sense with its keen hearing makes the hedgehog an extremely good hunter. If your hedgehog decides that you would be a tasty bite to eat, by the way, it is important not to wiggle free. A hedgehog has an instinct that if the prey is still wiggling, they will latch down even harder.
Hedgehogs are insectivores by nature.
This means exactly what you think it means, they thrive on a main diet of insects. So be prepared to feed your hedgehogs insects such as mealworms and crickets. To ensure they are getting a proper diet with enough protein, hedgehogs should have a base of either specialized hedgehog food or kitten food every night. It should range from thirty to forty pieces of kitten food in addition to mealworms or crickets. Hedgehogs can have a bit of fruit in their diet, but use it sparingly.
