{"title":"Veggie Patch","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVeggie Patch treats, chews and enrichment for rabbits and guinea pigs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeggie Patch is a small animal range built around one idea: a rabbit or guinea pig that has to work for its food is a healthier, less bored animal than one that empties a bowl. The range live here covers the woven Nibblers treats, chew toys and hard chews, foraging gear, and the feeding hardware to go with it. It is enrichment and dental wear, not nutrition — grass hay should still be the bulk of the diet, with these on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNibblers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the Nibblers correctly before you buy. They look like dried fruit and vegetables — strawberries, carrots, corn, apples, walnuts, watermelon — but they are woven and moulded from seagrass, loofah and corn husk, then coloured to match. They are a chew that happens to be edible, not a serve of produce, so they do not replace fresh greens and they will not upset a gut the way a sugary treat can. Sold in 1, 2 and 4 packs depending on the shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChew toys and hard chews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chew toys are the same woven construction in shapes designed to be pushed, tossed and shredded — balls, rollers, tunnels and wall-mounted pieces. The hard chews are the other end of the scale: denser material for an animal that gets through a soft toy in an afternoon, and for the teeth, which in rabbits and guinea pigs grow continuously and need something abrasive to wear against. Inspect any chew regularly and take it away once it is small enough to swallow whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEnrichment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foraging mat, the peg n snack line and the flat-pack maze all do the same job in different ways: they turn thirty seconds of eating into several minutes of sniffing, stretching and problem solving. They are all chewable by design, which is what makes them safe and also what limits their life — use them for a session and put them away rather than leaving them down permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware to keep food and water off the enclosure floor, where it collects bedding and droppings: a tool box hay feeder, a raised snack bar with two bowls, the bamboo Luna Dish with an anti-skid base in three sizes, and glass water bottles in 177ml, 355ml and 765ml with stainless steel tubes — glass because rabbits and ferrets chew through plastic and plastic clouds up until you cannot read the level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/small-animal-supplies\"\u003eSmall Animal Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/small-animal-treats\"\u003eSmall Animal Treats\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rabbit-guinea-pig-mice-food\"\u003eSmall Animal Grass \u0026amp; Hay\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.peekapaw.com.au\/collections\/veggie-patch.oembed","provider":"PeekAPaw Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
