Peckish Dental Treats for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs (150g)

Peckish Dental Treats are deliberately hard. Where a soft treat disappears in seconds, these are dense enough that a rabbit or guinea pig has to settle in and gnaw, and it’s that extended chew time — not any special ingredient — that does the work. They’re carrot-flavoured, which is generally enough to get even a suspicious guinea pig interested.

Good to know: what a “dental” treat can and can’t do

Worth being straight with you, because the category name oversells itself across the whole industry. Rabbit and guinea pig teeth grow continuously, and the thing that actually keeps the molars in check is the long, side-to-side grinding motion of eating grass hay — hours of it, every day. A hard treat gives useful chewing time and enrichment, and it’s a far better reward than something soft and sugary. But no treat, from any brand, substitutes for unlimited hay. If your pet is drooling, dropping food, losing weight or has a wet chin, that’s a vet visit, not a treat problem.

How to feed

Offer a few treats several times a week alongside hay and pellets, and keep fresh water available. Not a daily free-for-all.

Common questions

Are these suitable for baby rabbits?
They’re hard by design, so they suit animals with established adult teeth. Young ones are better served by getting stuck into good hay.

Are they vegetarian?
No — gelatine is listed in the ingredients. Worth knowing if that matters to you.

How many can I give per week?
A few, several times a week, is the guidance on the pack. Treats of any kind should stay a small fraction of what your pet eats.
