We set up Brambles Pet and Wildlife in the summer of 2017 as we saw a need to produce commercial wildlife foods that did not contain any harmful ingredients. Our research led to a wet and dry hedgehog food, & more recently a semi-moist food, that does not contain any ingredients that can contribute to Metabolic Bone Disease such as mealworms, sunflower hearts and peanuts. We have also kept refined sugar and other high sugar foods such as dried fruits and honey out of our hedgehog and Swan and Duck foods. Too much sugar can cause dental issues and obesity with associated cardiovascular problems. In addition, we have kept fat levels within recommended levels throughout our range of products.

In the know
An adult hedgehog can have up to 7000 spines that are hollow modified hairs. A single spine can support the whole weight of the hedgehog! If a hedgehog feels threatened the spines become erect and if the danger persists the hedgehog will roll into a ball.
All of Brambles Hedgehog Foods are widely used and recommended by many Wildlife Rescues. We support Wildlife Rescues by doing Giveaways on social media where we donate food and often collaborate with like-minded companies to provide necessary supplies to the Rescues. We have also purchased incubators to use in these Giveaways too 😊
We all love to feed swans, ducks, and other waterfowl but bread offers little-to-no nutritional benefit to the birds. The waterfowl will readily eat it when offered but the calorific bread fills up the stomach so much that the birds will then not forage for their natural foods. Brambles Swan & Duck Food is a supplementary food that offers fantastic nutritional benefits and as it floats you can easily tell when the waterfowl have had enough and to stop feeding them.
