Hedgehogs are nocturnal and hibernate during the winter. Which of the following is NOT true?
Hedgehogs eat insects and worms - they are herbivores

If you really want to feed them, you can buy special hedgehog food, or give them meat or vegetable based foods e.g. tinned cat food (but NOT fish flavours)
