🥄 Feeding Guide

  • Rabbits & guinea pigs: loose handful daily on top of main hay.

  • Chinchillas & degus: heaped tablespoon every other day.

  • Gerbils, hamsters, rats & mice: small pinch once a week for enrichment.

  • Parakeets & other small parrots: thread one pencil-thin twig through bars; crumble a pinch of leaf weekly.

  • Chickens: scatter 1 tsp per hen once a week for pecking fun.

  • Wild ducks: safe to toss a handful on the grass—better than bread.

  • Garden herbivores (wild rabbits, wood pigeons): safe in moderation.

  • Hedgehogs & carnivorous wildlife: skip—nutritional value is minimal.

Introduce gradually, supply fresh water and remove well-chewed or soiled pieces after 12 h.
