Small Animal Food

Small Animal Food

Feeding your small animal a complete and balanced diet is vital for the health and happiness of your pet. Fresh food and water should be available at all times in feeders and waterers for your furry friend, while treats or possibly fruits or vegetables may be offered sparingly depending on species.

Small animal foods may be a formulated pellet or a mix of seeds, fruits and vegetables or hay depending on the type of animal they are formulated for. Since the dietary needs of each animal varies, you should always offer food that is developed specifically for your pet to help ensure it meets all of their nutritional needs. For some species—such as ferrets and rabbits—you may even decide to go with a juvenile or senior diet, depending on the age of your pet.

For select species—like guinea pigs, rabbits and chinchillas—hay may be an essential part of their diet and should be offered at all times. Hay can be offered as a treat for other species—including mice, rats, gerbils and hamsters.
