Make feeding easy with sturdy food bowls and always provide fresh water in water bottles/bowls . For an added challenge, offer some as search food during play and foraging .
Which all-in-one chunk or pellet is right for your pet?
All-in-one food is available in many varieties (depending on the animal species, age, and recipe). It's best to choose with these points in mind:
- Species first – always choose a product that is specifically intended for your animal.
- Life stage – young, adult or senior (where available) makes a difference in need.
- Feeding style – want more visible variety? Then also consider natural pellet-free food .
Tip: Want to make a conscious choice within the "grain-free" category? Then consider grain-free food (always check if it's suitable for your animal species).
Selective eating: why all-in-one often helps
With mixed feeds, you sometimes see animals choosing "favorites" first and leaving other components aside. This can lead to a less balanced intake. All-in-one kibble/pellets are designed to limit this: because each kibble is the same, your pet receives a similar base intake per bite.
- Work with a weighed portion and only refill when it is (almost) empty.
- Make feeding more peaceful by hiding or scattering part of the area with forage products .
- Use snacks primarily as enrichment/reward (in moderation) via snacks .
For which animals is all-in-one chunk/pellet food suitable?
In this category, you'll find all-in-one food for multiple animal species. Always choose a variety that's right for your pet. Generally, you can think of:
- Rabbits – often as a base in combination with lots of hay .
- Guinea pigs – choose a guinea pig variety; hay remains an important part of the routine.
- Chinchillas & Degus – choose species-specific foods and use extras sparingly; you can vary the food with herbs .
- Rats & Mice – all-in-one chunks as a stable base, making foraging more fun.
- Hamsters & Gerbils – can be useful for fussy eaters; combine with enrichment from playing and foraging .
Feeding & transitioning quietly
Always follow the instructions on the packaging (which vary by brand and animal species). Switching to a new food should be done gradually:
- Day 1–3 : 75% old + 25% new
- Days 4–6 : 50% old + 50% new
- Day 7–10 : 25% old + 75% new
- After that : completely new (if all goes well)

- Herbs & flowers to sprinkle/hide: herbs .
- Search moments with foraging products: playing & foraging .
- Snack as a reward (in moderation): snacks .
Looking for a food with visibly different ingredients (more of a mixed texture)? Then check out natural pellet-free food .
Maintenance & hygiene

- Weekly : Clean food bowls and water points extra thoroughly.
- Use practical food and water products: food bowls and drinking bottles & water bowls .
- Store food in a dry/cool/dark place and tightly sealed (this will keep it fresh for longer).
