Rabbits and other small rodents have earned their place as pets in our homes. Therefore, before sharing your life with them, always remember to consult first with your trusted veterinarian to know how to give them the best care.
When living in cages, they must be large enough to allow the animal to fully stretch out. These have to be spacious and comfortable, so that your pet can carry out activities and wide movements within them. You will need a feeder, so that the feed is not in contact with the feces, and a waterer; a specific container for hay, a fundamental food for rabbits and rodents; and hygienic bedding, which you must change as needed.
Another important aspect for its well-being is that your rabbit or rodent stays, if possible, a minimum of two hours out of its cage, something very beneficial for the animal, in addition to providing it with toys that keep it active. Their diet is no less important and we must take care of it with attention and detail. Not just any product will do, but it is advisable to offer each species a specific one and, above all, ensure that it has a balanced diet.
Rabbits and most rodents have in common that they are large herbivores (with the exception of hamsters, for example, which are omnivores). Hay, rich in nutrients and low in fat, cannot be missing from your diet, since your digestive system needs this contribution of fiber to function properly. Another advantage: nibbling on this food will also help them sharpen and wear down their teeth.
This essential in our pet’s diet is complemented with an appropriate feed, which must contain all the nutritional requirements: water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins. Don’t forget fresh fruits and vegetables, which they love and provide a good amount of vitamins, or nuts and seeds (hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts or seeds), which you can offer them as a reward or snack. Very important: the product must be natural.
We discover, together with the Pets section of El Corte Inglés, a wide range of foods, adapted to each species, that guarantee all the nutritional needs of your rabbit or rodent.
