Seasonal Treats for Guinea Pigs, Rabbits & Hamsters

Small pets get their own seasonal selection. Petco carries Halloween treats and chews suited to guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and other small animals, including pumpkin flavored options and hay based chews in festive packaging.

What small pets can safely eat

Small animal digestion is sensitive, so stick to treats formulated for your specific pet. Guinea pigs and rabbits need a diet built primarily on hay, with treats as a small extra rather than a regular part of the day. Introduce anything new slowly and in tiny amounts, and skip human food entirely, including candy and baked goods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Small amounts of plain, fresh pumpkin flesh are generally safe for guinea pigs as an occasional treat, but it shouldn't replace hay, which needs to make up the bulk of their diet. Avoid seasoned or sweetened pumpkin products made for people.

Stick to treats made specifically for rabbits, such as hay based chews and dried herb or vegetable pieces. Rabbits have sensitive digestive systems and shouldn't have sugary treats, chocolate or anything intended for people. Introduce new treats gradually and in small quantities.

Treats should be occasional rather than daily for most small pets, and should never displace hay or their regular food. Check the guidance on the packaging, and introduce anything new in a small amount first to see how your pet tolerates it.
