Guinea Pig, Chinchilla and Rabbit Food

Give your small pet food formulated to meet their unique nutritional needs. With dietary blends designed for rabbits, chinchillas, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils and more, we make it easy to keep your small pet well fed. Each pet type has different nutritional needs. Some are strict herbivores and need a plant-based diet. This includes rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs. They thrive on a vegetarian diet of high-fiber pellets, grass hay and fresh leafy vegetables, similar to what they forage for in the wild. Be sure to feed your guinea pig pellets that include Vitamin C. Guinea pigs, like humans, cannot synthesize this nutrient and rely on their diet to provide it. Most high-quality commercial diets made specifically for guinea pigs have Vitamin C added. For this reason, it’s not recommended to feed your guinea pig only rabbit food, which lacks this vitamin. Chinchillas need high fiber diets and should have a mix of pellets with limited alfalfa hay, which is high in calcium and protein. Chinchillas, bunnies and guinea pigs should all be fed dried grasses like Timothy hay. Small amounts of fresh fruit can be an occasional treat. Carnivores such as ferrets require high protein formulas made from meat, with limited carbohydrates. Omnivores eat both meat and vegetables, so their pellets will have both plant and animal ingredients. More exotic small pets like hedgehogs need fresh or freeze-dried insects such as mealworms. As with all pets, fresh water should always be available as part of their complete diet. Choose from pellets, veggie mixes, fruit and seed blends for small rodents like hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice. Hay-based formulas are good for rabbits and the larger rodents like chinchillas and guinea pigs. Rodents and rabbits will also thrive with fresh vegetables and grass hay, if appropriate. Limit the amount of fruit and use them only as occasional treats to avoid obesity and picky eating. Your pet may also selectively eat their favorite foods from seed blends, so be sure to supplement their diets with pellets for balanced nutrition. There are many meat-based diets for ferrets that are designed for carnivores. Find complete nutrition in each bag of food for your small pet!
