Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in Sunseed Trail Mix with Cranberry & Apple, and do they contain allergens?

Ans: Contains dehydrated apples, cranberries, timothy hay, oats, bran, vegetable oil, flaxseed, and natural flavors without artificial colors or preservatives. Check packaging for facility allergen information. Introduce gradually and monitor for reactions.

Q2: Are cranberries and apples safe for rabbits and guinea pigs in treat form?

Ans: Yes, both are safe in moderation. Cranberries support urinary health with antioxidants; apples provide fiber. However, both are high in natural sugars. Dried fruit concentrates sugars further, requiring careful portioning to prevent weight gain and digestive upset.

Q3: How many pieces of Sunseed Trail Mix should I feed my rabbit or guinea pig daily?

Ans: Treats should not exceed 15% of the daily diet. Feed 3-5 pieces 2-3 times weekly, depending on pet size. These high-sugar treats should be occasional, not daily staples. Monitor weight and adjust portions based on overall diet and activity level.

Q4: What health benefits do wild berries and cranberries provide for small pets?

Ans: Cranberries contain antioxidants and flavonoids supporting urinary and immune health. Berries provide vitamins C and fiber, aiding digestion. However, treats should complement, not replace, species-appropriate pellets and unlimited timothy hay for balanced nutrition.

Q5: Can I feed this trail mix to young, pregnant, or senior rabbits and guinea pigs?

Ans: Consult your veterinarian before offering to very young animals with developing digestive systems. Pregnant mothers should prioritize hay and pellets. Senior pets can enjoy sparingly while monitoring weight and digestive tolerance for complications.

Q6: How do dried cranberries and apples compare to fresh fruit for small pets?

Ans: Fresh fruit provides hydration with lower sugar concentration; dried versions concentrate sugars significantly. Leafy greens offer superior nutrition with minimal sugar. Timothy hay remains a foundation for digestion and dental health; treats provide enrichment only.

Q7: What should I do if my rabbit or guinea pig shows digestive upset after eating this trail mix?

Ans: Discontinue treats immediately and increase timothy hay intake. Monitor for symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, lethargy, or loss of appetite, which may indicate sugar sensitivity. Ensure fresh water access. If symptoms persist beyond 24 hours, contact your veterinarian promptly.

Q8: Can these treats replace my pet's foundation diet of hay and pellets?

Ans: No, treats cannot replace balanced nutrition from quality pellets and unlimited timothy hay. This trail mix provides enrichment and bonding opportunities but lacks complete nutrients. Foundation diet remains essential; treats only complement, not substitute.

Q9: How should I store Sunseed Trail Mix with Cranberry & Apple to maintain freshness?

Ans: Store in a cool, dry place below 75°F away from direct sunlight and moisture. Close the bag tightly after each use. Proper storage prevents mold growth and maintains nutritional integrity and antioxidant quality throughout shelf life.
