RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEEDING
The digestive systems of many small animals are designed to digest fiber, often requiring up to 80% of their diets as high-quality fiber. Of that amount, 10-25% should come from long-stem forage to encourage natural foraging behavior, help wear down teeth and prevent boredom. Standlee recommends selecting a commercial fiber-based, vitamin and mineral fortified food, like PremiYum fortified food, and pair it with high-quality, hand-selected long-stem forage. Timothy Grass is NOT intended to be the only component of the diet. Place forages in a hopper or bin to prevent spoilage. Remove any uneaten forage if it becomes wet, damp, or soiled.
Feeding a small amount of fresh forage stimulates chewing, which aids in proper teeth wear and promotes a healthy digestive system.
Always provide clean, fresh water daily. Store forage in a cool, dry place. Re-close after each use.
