Peckish Bonanza Small Animal Treats – Breakfast Mix (200g)

Peckish Bonanza is a breakfast-style treat mix — rolled oats, barley, bran and dried fruit including sultanas, strawberry, apple and mango. It’s the sort of thing you offer by hand in the morning while you’re checking on your rabbit or guinea pig, and it’s genuinely useful for that: a pet that comes over for a treat is a pet you can look at closely every day. It is a treat, though, and the daily amount matters.

Features

• Blend of rolled oats, rolled barley, bran and dried fruit

How to feed

The recommended serve is 20g per day and it should not exceed 50g daily. Feed it alongside unlimited grass hay, a good pellet and fresh water — this is a supplement to the diet, never the diet itself.

Common questions

How much is 20g, really?
Roughly a small handful. If you’re not sure, weigh it once on kitchen scales and you’ll have a reliable eye for it after that. It’s easy to over-serve dried fruit by feel.

Is dried fruit alright for rabbits?
In the small quantities on the feeding guide, as a treat, yes. The reason for the cap is that grain and dried fruit are richer in sugar and starch than the fibre-heavy diet a rabbit or guinea pig gut is built for. Stick to the daily serve and you’re fine; free-feed it and you’re inviting soft stools and a rabbit that fills up on treats instead of hay.

Can I give it to a young rabbit?
Treats are best introduced gradually and in small amounts once a young animal is established on hay and pellets. If in doubt, keep the serve well under the 20g mark to start with.
