Product description

Small baked biscuits with carrot, made to be handed over one at a time. That is most of the point of them: a treat you give by hand is how a nervous rabbit learns that a hand coming into the hutch is a good thing rather than a thing to bolt from.

The recipe is wheat flour, oatmeal, whole wheat flour, soya oil, sugar, carrots at 4% and wheat middlings, with colourants. The brand suggests one or two a day depending on the size of the animal, and also suggests hiding one or two around the enclosure so they have to be found rather than simply eaten.

Carrots at 4%, in a wheat and oat biscuit
Suitable for rabbits, and also for guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats
One or two a day, by hand or hidden for foraging
A complementary treat, so it sits alongside a proper daily diet

Read the ingredient order. Wheat flour is first and sugar is ahead of the carrot, so this is a biscuit with carrot in it rather than a vegetable. That is true of nearly every baked small-pet treat on the shelf and it is fine at one or two a day, but it is not hay, and a rabbit that fills up on biscuits is a rabbit not eating the fibre its gut and its teeth actually need.

Who it's for: anyone taming a new rabbit or small pet by hand, and anyone who wants something to hide around the enclosure to give the animal a job to do.

Why we chose it

A plain, cheap hand-feeding treat that does the job most small-pet owners actually need a treat for, which is building trust with an animal that is hard-wired to run away. The recipe is short enough to read and the same biscuit suits most of the small pets in the house rather than only the rabbit.
