Rabbits, guinea pigs and other small pets are herbivores, and their treats should respect that. The best small-pet treats are fibre-first, low in sugar, and built around the hay, herbs and forage these animals are designed to eat, not the sugary yoghurt drops sold for them elsewhere.
What small pets actually need
- Fibre, always. Hay and forage keep a rabbit or guinea pig's gut moving and their constantly growing teeth worn down. Treats should add to that, not replace it.
- Low sugar. Sugary treats upset the delicate gut flora of small herbivores. Herbs, hay and dried vegetables are the safer reward.
- Small and occasional. A little goes a long way for a small animal, so treats are a once-in-a-while extra.
Hay first, always: Unlimited good-quality hay should make up most of a rabbit or guinea pig's diet. Treats are a top-up, never a substitute for hay and fresh forage.

Frequently asked questions
What treats are safe for rabbits and guinea pigs?
Fibre-rich, low-sugar treats based on hay, herbs and dried vegetables. Avoid sugary, dairy-based treats, which upset their gut.
How often can small pets have treats?
Sparingly. A small amount once in a while is plenty, on top of unlimited hay and fresh forage.
Can rabbits eat the same treats as guinea pigs?
Many fibre and herb treats suit both, but always check the product, since guinea pigs need vitamin C and some foods differ.
Why is hay so important?
Hay provides the fibre that keeps the gut working and wears down continuously growing teeth, so it must be the bulk of the diet.
