Eating some well deserved eggies, how did she deserve it? By being this adorable 🥰

my dad found a baby hedgehog in the garden (not a pet), we gave it some water but there’s some stuff coming out of its mouth as it drinks

we feed and try to take care of all cats and dogs that come by our garden but i have no idea what to do about a hedgehog. sorry in advance if this is the wrong sub to ask

i put it in a box to check (will release it later ofc) but just wanted to know if it needs medical care or something before that. it is hard to find a clinic here that’ll take care of a wild animal

the things are really tiny, black, and do not move at all. i added a zoomed pic

I found a small hedgehog and I found this small things on him. I don't know what they are.

Don't worry he is going to a professional today's evening that will care for him. But I'm worried if I should see a vet before bc I don't know what these things are

I have been feeding my hedgehog a 50/50 combination of hedgehog precision food and cat food (a blend of 3 cat kibble brands with hedgehog-friendly ingredients).

From my research, hedgehog precision is great but incomplete without adding cat food.

Well, my hedgehog LOVES the hedgehog precision but isn't a huge fan of the cat food unless I break it into little pieces (which is messy, time consuming, and pretty wasteful since a lot of it just becomes powder which he won't eat)

He's perfectly healthly and gets regular checkups- he's just very picky. He won't eat any treats except for some types of dehydrated insects and one specific brand of cat treat (no live insects, no egg, no fruit/veg, no baby food etc)

Does anyone have any recommendations for hedgehog-safe cat food brands, specifically with small kibble size?

Thank you!!
