Everything you need to know about lick- & mineral stones for rodents and rabbits in the small animal shop

Lick- & mineral stones for rodents and rabbits are a practical addition to daily feeding and can help provide selected minerals depending on the species, housing conditions and requirements. Whether for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, degus or chinchillas – in the small animal section you will find various mineral stones, salt licks and supplementary products that can be easily offered in the enclosure or hutch. At Zoo Roco, you will find lick- and mineral stones for small animals in different versions – suitable for species-appropriate care, as enrichment or as a targeted supplement to the diet.

Using mineral stones correctly for rabbits and rodents

Mineral stones are not a substitute for a balanced diet, but rather an additional supplement. The basis of a healthy small animal diet consists of high-quality hay, fresh water, suitable fresh food and feed tailored to the respective species. A mineral stone can be offered as a supplement so that the animals can nibble or lick it if required. It is particularly important that lick stones are always selected to suit the species. Not every small animal has the same mineral requirements. Whilst some animals gladly use a mineral stone, others show hardly any interest in it. You should therefore observe the behaviour of your rabbits and rodents and ensure that the stone is not consumed excessively.

Lick stones as a supplement and activity

Lick- and mineral stones can not only help to provide minerals, but also offer many small animals additional activity in their enclosure. Nibbling and licking correspond to the natural exploratory behaviour of many rodents and rabbits and can make everyday life in the hutch or indoor enclosure more varied.

Practical for hutches, cages and enclosures

Many mineral stones can be easily placed or attached in the small animal home. This keeps them clean, ensures they are accessible at all times and allows the animals to use them independently. Make sure to keep the lick stone dry and check it regularly. If it becomes heavily soiled or damaged, it should be replaced.

Lick stones for rabbits

Rabbits primarily require a diet rich in crude fibre with plenty of hay. A suitable mineral stone can also be offered, but should be used consciously and in moderation. It is important that rabbits have fresh water and sufficient hay available at all times.

Mineral stones for guinea pigs and other rodents

Guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, degus and chinchillas can also benefit from supplementary mineral products depending on their housing and diet. As requirements vary depending on the species, it is advisable to choose a suitable product for the respective small animal species.
