Hedgehogs are carnivorous animals that feed primarily on insects and other small invertebrates. They like to be active at night and use their sense of smell and hearing to find food. They can prey on various insects, slugs, snails, earthworms, etc.
In addition to these animals, hedgehogs will also eat small amounts of plant foods such as fruits, berries and nuts. However, these plant foods only account for a small part of a hedgehog's daily food intake, and meat food remains their main source of nutrition.
Generally speaking, hedgehogs can be classified as carnivores, but they are also somewhat omnivorous.
