What they eat in nature?
Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus and hamsters are herbivorous animals, whose organisms are adapted to digestion of the parts of plants which are rich in raw fibre and include large quantities of ballast substances. In order to prevent diseases caused by inappropriate nourishment, and to keep them in good condition, we should provide them with feed  very similar to food eaten by their cousins in the wild.

One should remember that in spite of domestication, digestive systems of  pets have not changed much.

Why coarse-fibrous food  is so important?
All rodents and rabbits possess teeth which grow their whole life. They keep suitable length and sharpness of their teeth only by abrasion, which also prevents diseases of  paradontium. Incisors are used to pick and chop, and molar teeth to crumble and masticate their food.

The animals must be provided with coarse-fibrous food so that they can rub off their teeth. Hay, green grains, herbs, bark, leaves, roots and their blends, which we offer, are an irreplaceable source of proper basic and supplementary diet. Aside from abrasion of teeth, sticks of trees and bark keep our pets busy.
