Saturday is National Pumpkin Day 🎃

Did you know pumpkin is safe for most small pets and can be a fun variety treat? Pumpkin can be a healthier treat than many fruits, but like carrots or bell peppers it should be given in moderation due to its sugar content.

​

We recommend only feeding a small amount of fresh pumpkin at a time (berry sized chunks for bunnies and guinea pigs and half that size for rats, mice, hamsters and gerbils). Some small pets can nibble on the raw, unsalted seeds but we recommend rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas avoid them.

​

​

Want to celebrate pumpkin season through the end of the year? For our bunny friends, we recommend Skin, Coat & Molt Herbal Poppers, which doubles as a tasty treat and supplement. We also have Pumpkin Healthy Snackers, which can enjoyed by bunnies, guinea pigs, rats, mice and hamsters.

​

Have a chinchilla or pet with a sensitive gut? We recommended avoiding pumpkin and offering a safer alternative like the Boredom Breaker Foraging Mix, locally-made with just 4 ingredients: rose petals, cilantro, orchard hay and a little bit of carrot.
