PetLac Milk Replacement Powder (Ask Your Veterinarian)
Hamor Hollow Hedgehogs now prefers Oxbow Critical Care Carnivore instead of puppy milk replacers for supplementing hedgehog diets. We're keeping these milk replacers listed as an option if recommended by your veterinarian. Older hedgehogs, hedgehogs that have become ill, and hedgehogs taking medications like antibiotics may occasionally have digestive issues. Milk replacers can provide full nutrition, assist with digestion, and promote a healthy appetite, especially with hedgehogs that have problems chewing. We generally mix one tablespoon of Esbilac into two tablespoons of warm water in a small food dish or ramekin. If your hedgie has completely lost their appetite, then use a feeding syringe to slowly squirt the mixed liquid into their mouth. Refrigerate any uneaten liquid to finish feeding later. Note: It will take a long time for a hedgehog to consume a full package of milk replacer. We freeze all unused powder, as it quickly thaws while mixing. VENDOR DESCRIPTION Gently stir or sh
