Important Facts You Should Know About Small Pets!

Do small pets eat vegetables, greens, and fruits? Yes — their diet consists of soaked and sprouted seeds, along with some green plants. All types of fruits are a good supplement such as apples, pears, plums, cherries, grapes, oranges, bananas, mangos, papayas, and even berries such as strawberries and blueberries. Vegetables are also good supplements such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, and even dandelions and chickweed.

Remember to feed and give water daily to your small animals! Their feeding requirements vary depending on the pet. Again, each pet has their own food mix and that is what they should be fed.

Formulated diets – pelleted or extruded, formulated diets provide a good nutritional base, containing all the necessary minerals and vitamins, so additional vitamins are not required. However, formulated diets do not contain the phytonutrients (antioxidant pigments) that are found in vegetables, fruits, grains, and seeds.

In case you’re wondering, YES, small animals LOVE treats. In fact, giving them is a great and fun way to interact with your furry little friend. These treats include bars, wafers, chews, drops and available mixes. Allpets Emporium carries quite an array of small animal treats to choose from.
