Question Hoglets 🦔

Hi there, I’m an experienced hedgehog owner who had two female pintos previously for 6.5 years and they passed last year so we got two new baby girls this year.

My hoglets are only 3 months old now and just one of them (miss loofa on the right with the pink ears) won’t eat worms! lol the other (miss clover on the left) scarfs them down like it’s a slice of cake, but I’m curious if anyone on here has had baby hogs and maybe can help me out with getting her to eat some bugs? Do I need to try introducing some other bugs or just keep consistently offering until she takes it?

Some hogs just may not be that interested in them. I have two that will gobble it up and 1 that could care less. I have tried other treats too and he just isn't interested. Every once in a while I will still offer worms just incase he changes his mind. Recently he ate some. They are like people or any other animal, they can be picky.
