A line with pegs that holds greens, herbs and treats above floor level, so food has to be reached for instead of eaten out of a bowl. That small change is most of the value: a guinea pig that stretches up for silverbeet is exercising and foraging at once, and taking longer over the same amount of food.
Choose the length by enclosure, not by animal. The medium line suits a hutch or a single-level cage; the large one needs a run or a pen wide enough to string it across without the food ending up on the floor.
How to use it
- Peg on leafy greens, herbs, or the drier treats from the Veggie Patch range
- Hang it high enough to stretch for, low enough to reach
- Take fresh greens down at the end of the day rather than leaving them to wilt
- Suits rabbits and guinea pigs
Stick to foods that suit the species — a line makes it easy to over-treat, and grass hay should still be the bulk of the diet.
