On the missing protein field

The structured analysis the makers supplied for this product leaves out a protein figure, though Burgess's own nutrition text separately states 10.4% — we've used that figure here, but it's worth noting it didn't arrive in the same place as the fat, fibre and ash numbers on the same card.

Why we chose it

Rosehip is a genuinely different flavour note from the cornflower and marigold bales in the same range, useful if a pet has a preference between the three. It's the same foraging-focused format as the rest of the Forage & Feast line, just with a different topping.

— Matt, founder

Full description

A caged small animal given nothing but a pile of loose hay will eat it, but it won't spend much time doing so, and a compressed bale that has to be pulled apart adds back some of the time and effort foraging naturally involves.

This mini bale is 92% timothy hay topped with 6% rosehips, with raffia and starch holding its shape. It carries a slightly different nutritional profile from the cornflower and marigold versions in the same range — fat at 1.7% and fibre at 28.1% — while serving the same foraging-enrichment purpose.

Fat 1.7%, fibre 28.1%, ash 5.8%
Protein figure of 10.4% given in the manufacturer's separate nutrition text

Who it's for: owners of rabbits, guinea pigs or chinchillas wanting a foraging enrichment product with rosehip flavouring, alongside their pet's usual loose hay.
