My hedgehog has unfortunately developed WHS. He has become unable to stand at his food bowl for long enough to eat. The vet has suggested I start syringe feeding him. However, we are both concerned about the possibility of causing diahrrea and dehydrating him further. Do any of you have a recipe that can be used? I looked through the health and diet sections and couldn't find any info.
He is currently on Wellness cat food, and refuses to eat anything other than mealworms, and the occasional waxworm. But with the syringe feed I could probably introduce some other options, like veggies, or vitamins. I have vionate powder, but wanted to make sure that was safe to use before giving it to him.
Thanks for your help!
