more free feeding of mealies and a higher fat biccie of around 15% fat content - do it for a few weeks and see if theres any gain and if not then he is probably just a small built hedgie - its best not to do it long term due to the risk of fatty liver disease

Wax worms are a bit fatty so maybe try some of those, not too many of course, but will help if you want to bulk up a little.

I have mentioned it a few times but Royal Cannin Persion Cat worked a treat when one of mine wouldnt eat, got her eating again & she put the weight back on, its 22% fat though - I can put a handful in the post if you want to try some

Just pets at home - if you ask royal canin though they will send you a free sample, I found it really good for getting rosie eating again (once I got her back eating again I started mixing what she should be eating in with them & decreased it till I had non left) & getting her weight back on - wouldnt feed it to them too long though

Still sometimes give them it for a treat or pop a handfull in her mix just to help her out as she is funny with her eating
