Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the best recovery foods for small pets after surgery or illness?

Ans: High-calorie, easy-to-digest formulas are what most recovering small pets need. Carnivore Care is built for meat-eating species, while Critical Care Herbivore is made for plant-based small animals. Both are common picks for post-surgical or illness recovery, but check with your vet on amount and duration since that depends on what your pet is recovering from.

Q2: How can I tell if my small pet needs digestive support?

Ans: Soft stools, a drop in appetite, or bloating are the main signs to watch for. Bene-Bac Plus Gel or Digestive Support Tabs can help restore gut flora after a diet change or a course of antibiotics. If symptoms stick around past a few days, call your vet, it could be a parasite, an infection, or something else a probiotic won't fix on its own.

Q3: Which toys are safe for aggressive chewers like rabbits and chinchillas?

Ans: Heavy chewers do better with natural fiber toys instead of anything coated or dyed. The Oxbow Apple Stick Bundle and Timothy Waffle Toy both stand up to serious chewing and wear teeth down naturally as your pet gnaws on them.

Q4: How do I safely introduce a new supplement into my small pet's diet?

Ans: Start with a small amount rather than the full dose. With something like Nupro Ferret Supplement or Bene-Bac Plus Powder, watch your pet's behavior, stool, and appetite for the first few days. If you see loose stool, itching, or your pet going off food, stop and check with your vet before continuing.

Q5: What enrichment items reduce boredom in small pets during the day?

Ans: Interactive items give small pets something to do instead of just sitting in a cage all day. The Quiet Runner Wheel, Timothy Hut Hideaway, and Sun Salad Foraging Treat all encourage activity and can help cut down on stress-related behavior.

Q6: How often should small pet bedding be changed?

Ans: Spot-clean soiled bedding daily and do a full change once or twice a week for most small pets. Animals in smaller cages will need it more often since waste builds up faster in less space. If you notice a smell or the bedding feels damp before your next scheduled change, that's your cue to do it early.

Q7: Can small pets like guinea pigs and rabbits share the same food?

Ans: No. Guinea pigs need vitamin-C in their diet because, unlike rabbits, they can't produce it on their own, and rabbit food isn't fortified with it. The two species also need different amounts of fiber. Feed each one food made for its own species rather than assuming rabbit and guinea pig diets are interchangeable.
