Hedgehogs on the kitten diet showed significantly higher BUN (p = 0.0133), creatinine (p = 0.0279), and phosphorus (p = 0.0279) despite similar dietary phosphorus content; calcium did not differ (p = 0.3846), and the kitten diet carried higher declared fat with lower fiber. The authors suggest diet choice is associated with renal biochemical profiles and recommend species-appropriate feeding for this increasingly common companion animal.\n  Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42450773/\n\nSource text: `pdf-raw/evidence/europepmc_hedgehog_nutrition_2026-08-01.txt` (Europe PMC first-hand abstracts, pulled 2026-08-01).\n\n## License & attribution\n\nMixed licensing per COPYRIGHT_POLICY §3: Open Access (CC BY / CC BY-NC /\nCC BY-NC-ND) studies are reproduced verbatim with attribution under their specific\nCC license; non-Open-Access studies are paraphrased as derived fact summaries\n(numbers and proper nouns preserved, sentences rewritten).
