Small Animal Feeding Guidelines

Small animals (such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchilas and degus) are herbivores that thrive on a plant based, grass-led diet. Adequate forage consumption is essential for great dental, digestive and gut health. Hay should make up most of your small pets diet (80-90%) and they have unlimited access to great quality hay, daily, and at free choice.

Check out our handy guide on feeding hay to your small pets:

Free choice is preferable with a minimum of 90-100g per day for an adult guinea pig.
