Advent calendar filled with various treats for rabbits and rodents. Open a door every day as a treat, in moderation, alongside hay and the main food. Read more.
Counting down to Christmas with an advent calendar is a fixed ritual for many families. With this Trixie advent calendar your rabbit or rodent can simply join in. The calendar is filled with various treats. Every day you open a door and give your pet the goodie inside. That makes the run-up to the holidays a cosy time for your pet too, and for children it is a lovely moment to spend with their pet.
The calendar measures 30 × 34 × 3.5 cm. It is flat, so you can easily put it on a shelf or hang it where you see it every day. Do keep it out of your pet's reach, so it does not start gnawing the doors open itself. Store the calendar dry, so the treats stay good until their door comes up.
A treat remains a treat, even in December. Give the contents of the doors in moderation, alongside unlimited hay and the regular main food. For rabbits and guinea pigs, hay remains by far the most important part of the menu. No official composition of the treats is known. So calmly watch how your pet reacts to something new with each door, and feel free to break a piece in two if you have several animals. That way everyone gets something and it stays a small amount.
The calendar is intended for rabbits and small rodents, such as guinea pigs, hamsters and rats. If you have a dwarf hamster, be careful. Dwarf hamsters are sensitive to sugar, and because it is not known exactly what the treats contain, it is better to choose a snack you know to be sugar-free for them. Rats put on weight easily, so a small piece is enough for them too.
A fun idea: turn opening the door into a little search. Hide the treat in a tuft of hay or under the bedding, so your pet has to look for it for a moment. After the holidays you simply carry on with snacks that suit the whole year. For those, choose Zooply snacks for rabbits, for guinea pigs, for hamsters or for rats.
