My pet tenrec (lesser Madagscan hedgehog tenrec) forages for cockcroaches, crickets, cutworms and beetles in the garden in the late afternoons. The only insects that she has ignored, are stinkbugs. Baby mice (pinkies) are an occasional snack. Captive food favourites are cat pellets in a little milk or fruit juice, and defrosted frozen diced vegetables - she does not eat peas! Superworms and mealworms from petshops are fed in small quantities
