On what this does and doesn't do

This is a treat formulated around fibre and inulin, not a medicine, and no cure or clinical claim is made for it beyond supporting digestive health as a routine snack. If an animal is showing signs of a genuine blockage — not eating, hunched, straining — that is a vet visit, not a bag of treats.

Why we chose it

One bag covers six different small animals with a feeding guide for each, which is unusually practical if your household has more than one type of pet. It is pitched as routine support rather than a cure, and that is worth more than a bolder claim would have been.

Full description

Small animals that groom themselves as thoroughly as rabbits and guinea pigs do swallow a fair amount of their own coat, and unlike a cat, they cannot bring it back up — so what goes in has to help move it through instead.

These are cereal-shelled treats with a cream filling, built around dried papaya at 4% alongside wheat bran, rapeseed oil and inulin. They are meant as an in-between-meals snack from around 10 weeks of age, with a feeding guide that varies by species — more for a rabbit than for a hamster.

Suitable for hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits

On what this does and doesn't do. This is a treat formulated around fibre and inulin, not a medicine, and no cure or clinical claim is made for it beyond supporting digestive health as a routine snack. If an animal is showing signs of a genuine blockage — not eating, hunched, straining — that is a vet visit, not a bag of treats.

Who it's for: owners of rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats or mice who groom heavily and could do with a routine digestive-support treat, rather than anyone dealing with an animal that is already unwell.

Common questions

How many should I give my rabbit?

The guide is 2-4 bites for rabbits, fed as a snack between meals.

What age can I start giving these?

They are recommended for use after weaning, usually from around 10 weeks.

What's in the filling?

A cream filling inside a cereal shell, built around dried papaya at 4%, wheat bran, rapeseed oil and inulin among the other ingredients.

Will this treat an existing hairball problem?

No — it's a treat aimed at supporting digestion generally, not a medicine. An animal that's straining or not eating needs a vet, not more treats.
