Christmas gift list for small pets
Top 5 toys for small furry pets
Here are Claygate Vets’ favourite top five toys for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small pets to enjoy this Christmas:
- Activity assault course – Rosewood boredom breaker toy
- YUNXANIW Seagrass mat with chewing toys
- Natural wooden exercise and chew toys
- Hamster & mice maze
- Natural chew hanging toy
Our Claygate vet nurses advise that toys for small furries should enable them to display normal, natural, wild behaviours. Anything that encourages burrowing, chewing, and thinking will be a great addition to their environment. Wrap the toy in newspaper and watch how much fun your pet has opening it!
Top 5 treats for small furry pets
If you were looking for a food-based gift, then treats can be a great choice. With all treats, remember they should be naturally sourced and made specifically for your small furry species. Avoid anything too fattening and remember, a little goes a long way.
Claygate Vets’ top five recommendations for treats are:
When looking for treats for your pets, our team advise that you should choose something that is engaging to help fight boredom and make the treat more exciting. Avoid treats with glues, additives, or anything that would not be a natural source of food in the wild.
We hope none of the items above have sold out, but if they have, at least they will give you an idea of the types of toys and treats to look for. Other retailers online or in Surrey may stock pet-safe toys and treats like these too, or why not have a go at making your own?
If you want any health, nutrition, or grooming advice for your rabbits this winter, book an appointment with one of our team, and they will be happy to help.
