Okay, here is a food question,

I was wondering how you measure kibble protein, fats, etc. Do you just count up the percent and add them? How much is good for them?
 
I look to the %'s marked on the kibble; ie, hedgie's staple diet. I don't worry so much about counting the treats like mealies, fruits, veggies, etc...

Protein - aiming for around 30%
Fats - aiming for around 8-12% (depends on your hedgie though)
 
But if your feeding your hedgehog more than one kibble do you add the percents together or just leave them be? Also is it possible to tell how much it will grow? Like you adopt a hedgehog, could you tell if he/she would be about 300g (full size) or like 550g?
