Special Occasion Snacks for Rodents & Rabbits
Sometimes you want to do something special: a birthday, an adoption day, a celebration, or just because your pet is so much fun. In this category, you'll find festive snacks suitable for rodents and rabbits, such as seasonal snacks, chewable shapes, and treats that can also be used as a foraging challenge. The selection changes with the seasons, so you can always find something special.
What are special occasion snacks?
Specialty snacks are treats with a festive feel: think of seasonal cookies (for example, around Christmas or Easter), nibbleable vegetable/fiber shapes, and fun items you can give as a reward or as part of a foraging activity. This category includes themed snacks, grain-free seasonal items, and nibbleable shapes that can also be used for enrichment (for example, by surrounding them with hay or hiding small herb snacks).
Handy combinations
Which animals are special snacks suitable for?
This category is intended for rodents and rabbits, but the best choice depends on the species and daily diet. For rabbits and guinea pigs, high-fiber, spicy, and grain-free options are often a good choice as a treat. Hamsters, gerbils, mice, and rats can be made happy with small portions as a reward or during a foraging activity. For degus and chinchillas, it's best to choose high-fiber options and give sweeter snacks only rarely.
How do you give snacks for special occasions?
- Break large snacks into small pieces and spread them throughout the day.
- Make it a foraging moment: hide bits in hay or in a sniffing spot.
- Use a snack plate or place the “party centerpiece” in a fixed spot as a quiet treat.
- Keep it occasional: it remains a bonus in addition to your basic diet.
Checklist: festive snacking with a good balance
Good to know
- It's best to give new snacks in small quantities at first, so you can see how your pet reacts to them.
- Choose a size that suits your animal (small animals: smaller pieces).
- Remove leftovers if they become wet or remain in the enclosure for extended periods.
- Do you have questions about what's best for your animal species? Check out our service page.
