Wombaroo Clover Pellets for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs – High Fibre

Wombaroo Clover Pellets are a clover-based feed for small herbivores — high in fibre, low in starch, and fortified with vitamins and minerals including stabilised vitamin C. That last point is the one guinea pig owners should notice: guinea pigs cannot manufacture their own vitamin C and must get it from their diet, and a fortified pellet is a reliable way of covering it.

Features

• Clover-based, highly palatable formula
• High fibre, low starch
• Fortified with vitamins and minerals
• Contains stabilised vitamin C — essential for guinea pigs
• Designed to complement a diet of hay and fresh greens

How to feed

These pellets are a supplement to fresh hay and leafy greens, not a replacement for them. The feeding guidance is clear about the proportions: roughly 80% of the diet should be grass hay, with the remainder made up of vegetables and pellets. Avoid overfeeding cereal grains or fruit, which can upset digestion.

Good to know: vitamin C degrades

Vitamin C in pellets breaks down over time, and heat and light speed that up — which is worth knowing in an Australian summer. Store the bag sealed, somewhere cool and dark, buy a size you’ll get through in reasonable time, and don’t rely on a bag that has been open in a hot shed for months. Fresh leafy greens alongside are good insurance.

Common questions

Can rabbits eat these, or are they a guinea pig product?
Both. They’re formulated for rabbits and guinea pigs alike. The added vitamin C is essential for guinea pigs and simply harmless for rabbits.

How much should I feed?
Follow the guidance: hay should be about 80% of the diet, with vegetables and pellets making up the rest. Pellets are the smallest part of the picture, not the base of it.

Why low starch?
Rabbit and guinea pig guts are built to ferment fibre, and they cope poorly with a high-starch load. Keeping starch down and fibre up supports the gut motility these animals depend on.
