Löysin muuten tällaisen maininnan jonka Marianne joskus oli löytänyt VitaKraftista:
<br>
<br>"The VitaKraft which was the first hedgehog food I could find is not appropriate for them at all."
<br>
<br>"VitaKraft Hedgehog food is NOT adequate for hedgehogs and hedgehogs have actually starved on this diet so please NEVER use it".
<br>
<br>Täältä löytyypi: <a href="http://www.suomensiiliyhdistys.fi/forum20/index.php?PHPSESSID=5f09b19176416021f384640fa719b2f3&action=vthread&forum=4&topic=1216&page=3" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.suomensiiliyhdistys.fi/forum20/index.php?PHPSESSID=5f09b191 76416021f384640fa719b2f3&action=vthread&forum=4&topic=1216&page=3</a><br>" The Vitakraft strongly resembles muesli, containing grain, cod-liver oil, dried shrimp, and honey, among other things, and they really like it.
<br>I've heard both good and bad things about the Vitakraft food. The good comments seem to center around many hedgehogs liking it (no mean feat), though I've also been hearing an increasing number of negative comments which seem to focus on the fact that it is primarily vegetable based, whereas hedgehogs are primarily carnivorous by nature. It would appear that Vitakraft is not a complete food, but rather one that needs to be supplemented with meat (remember, cooked only!), or cat/dog food to cover all the bases, rather than being given as a staple on its own.
<br>One actual warning I've heard repeatedly, is that the peanuts in it can get stuck in a hedgehog's mouth. The number of cases of this that I've now heard of have reached the point where I really have to recommend against using Vitakraft for hedgehogs. Even with the peanuts removed or crushed, it still does not provide a complete diet. There are much better options out there, including cat or dog food. If you do want to use it, remember to please be careful and either remove the peanuts or break up the peanuts into smaller pieces before feeding it to your hedgies. "
