Vegetables & fruits
Everything you need to know about vegetables & fruit for rodents and rabbits
Vegetables and fruit bring natural variety to the diet of rabbits, guinea pigs and rodents. As a supplement to hay, main feed and fresh water, they can be a useful addition to their diet. At the Zoo Roco Pet Shop, you’ll find a selection of fruit and vegetable products for rodents and rabbits – ideal as a supplementary feed, snack or little treat.
Vegetables as a valuable supplement
Suitable vegetables are an important part of a varied diet for many small animals. Rabbits and guinea pigs in particular benefit from fresh or dried vegetables, which supplement their diet with additional nutrients and varied textures. It is important to introduce new varieties gradually and to ensure they are well tolerated. Rabbits and guinea pigs enjoy eating a variety of vegetables, herbs and green fodder. These supplements should always be combined with high-quality hay, as hay remains the most important staple of their diet. Suitable vegetables add variety to their diet and can provide a natural supplement to their daily feed.
Vegetables for small rodents
Hamsters, mice and rats can also be given small amounts of suitable vegetable ingredients, depending on the species. For degus and chinchillas, a particularly careful selection is important, as they can react sensitively to high-sugar or unsuitable food ingredients. Low-sugar, high-fibre supplements in appropriate quantities are particularly suitable here.
Feed fruit sensibly and sparingly
Fruit is popular with many small animals, but it naturally contains sugar. It should therefore only be offered in small quantities and not on a daily basis. As an occasional snack or treat, suitable fruit can complement the diet, but should not replace the main food, hay and fresh vegetables.
Dried fruit as a snack
Dried fruit is particularly aromatic and is a favourite with pets. As it is more concentrated than fresh fruit, it is particularly important to use it sparingly. Make sure to choose products without unnecessary additives and adjust the quantity to suit the specific animal species.
Variety and enrichment in the enclosure
Vegetables & fruit for rodents and rabbits are not only suitable as a dietary supplement, but also for keeping them occupied. Small pieces can be hidden in hay, placed in food toys or used as a reward during daily interaction. This encourages natural foraging behaviour and adds variety to your pets’ daily routine.
