My still unnamed hedgie came with some food - I'm pretty sure it's meow mix, or something along that line. Basically, not healthy. Right now he's on Authority weight management - not the best, but good protein and fat levels, and the first couple ingredients are meat. It does have corn in it though, which I know is just a filler. Mostly, I didn't want to put switch him on a super rich food right away, as I figured he'd have enough adjusting to do.

I plan on giving him Blue Buffalo light, and probably at least one other ultra premium food. I was wondering about mixing in 'junk foods' so to speak; some sites say it's important, some not.

Should I keep Authority in the mix, with the other premiums? Should I keep a little meow mix in there, as a low percentage? Or should I stop those, and wean him onto only higher quality foods? You can see why I'm confused!
