Yes I think that would be a fine food to give your hedgie. Youre right in that the fat content is a little high- but if it is part of a mix I think you will be just fine.

What exactly is the " Health Boost" ? Is it like dried pieces of fruit etc? I would stay away from those because Id be afriad of them getting stuck in the roof of your hedgies mouth. Stick with the kibble in a good mix of other foods and I think youre good to go :)
