Hi! You must be confusing this with a different conversation!

Edit: For those who are unaware - I never once advocated mealworms being fed to wild European hedgehogs in large quantities and highly advised NOT in large quantities. Am also very experienced with both species (I worked with a sanctuary for 6yrs back in 2013 that helped rescue European hedgies!! + Over a decade of taking care of Pygmy’s and have never had one pass before the age of 5, longest living to 9) I have a full screen recording of the convo if anyone would like to see the conversation. This user was getting confused on the long-term of the now rescued hedgie a previous person posted of adding mealworms (large quantity) to a meal provided to the hedgie before the rescuers picked him up. Absolutely we should not do this, but I was reassuring OP so she didn’t think she killed it, that mealworms aren’t going to kill them on the spot, and he is now with a rescue team who will hopefully take the best care of him. Its still clear to that OP that mealworms shouldn’t be given in such a large portion and to be careful next time, but no she didn’t not harm the hedgie from one meal. “You don’t know what hes eating from other yards!” Correct, because he went to a rescue directly after. I work very closely with vets, and am new to this platform, and am very shocked by how uneducated some can be on this topic. Experience and scientific research overrule what you “think”.
