Variety is so important in small animal diets. Rabbits and guinea pigs are natural foragers. They don’t eat only one type of grass, flower, herb, or bark. They eat a little bit of this and a little bit of that. (Depending on what’s seasonally available, of course.) Without diet variety, they can suffer a lack of trace minerals and other nutritional components. Small Pet Select Vita-Licious herbal blend provides the variety they need to mimic forage.
This small animal herbal blend is made of whole foods. A whole food = something to eat that’s still in its natural state and is bioavailable. It’s still what it ever was. Nothing is taken out of the original plant. A berry that has vitamin C is a whole food. A leaf is a whole food.
A whole food gives vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, fatty acids, and other micronutrients in a way the body needs them and understands them.
Rabbit and guinea pig teeth also require a variety of foods. They need to bite and chew, and crunch. They need to pull at bark and twigs. If they don’t get a chance to do all those things, mouth health can deteriorate and tooth problems crop up.
Note: chinchillas have different nutritional needs, and have far more restrictions. We don't recommend these blends for chinchillas.
