Ferret Food, Rodent and Hamster Food

Find small pet food designed to provide them with the nutritional support they need. With formulas created specifically for ferrets, hamsters, gerbils and other small animals, we make it easy to take care of your pet inside and out. While you can feed most small pets similar diets, there are key requirements for each species. Find the appropriate diet for your pocket pet. Herbivores thrive on a diet of high-fiber pellets, grass hay like Timothy hay and orchard grass, plus fresh vegetables. Diets for seed-eating rodents are designed for hamsters and gerbils as well as rats and mice. Most seed mixes can be used for treats for all rodents, but limit the amount of alfalfa (high fiber) and sunflower seeds (high fat) for mice and rats. Rodent blocks or pellets provide required nutrients that may be missing in other diets. Including a variety of foods, including seed mixes, hay, leafy greens and small amounts of fruit and other vegetables are essential for your pet's health. Ferrets are different from other small pets. Like cats, ferrets are carnivores and need a high protein pellet diet based on meat. At PetSmart, we carry a wide variety of small animal food, so stock up on healthy favorites for your furry friend!
