Pressed Christmas star of hay and herbs topped with dried pieces of parsnip and beetroot. A festive treat, in moderation, alongside hay and the main food. Read more.
Around the holidays everyone at home gets a little something, and your rabbit or rodent does not have to miss out. This Trixie Xmas star is a Christmas snack shaped like a star. The star is pressed from green material in which you can see hay and herbs. On top are dried pieces of parsnip and beetroot. The pack contains 80 grams.
The nice thing about a star like this is that it keeps your pet busy for a while. Rabbits and guinea pigs first nibble off the pieces of vegetable and then work on the pressed star itself. Hamsters and rats hold it between their front paws or drag it off to a quiet corner. That makes it not just something tasty, but also a moment of activity. The star shape also makes it a fun Christmas present to put under the tree.
A treat remains a treat. Give the star 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 or feeding amount is known for this snack. So keep it to a piece now and then, and do not give the star instead of the regular food. When offering your pet something new, calmly watch how it reacts.
The snack is intended for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and rats. If you have a dwarf hamster, we advise against this star. Parsnip and beetroot are sweetish vegetables, and dwarf hamsters are sensitive to sugar. Rats put on weight easily, so for them too a small piece is enough. Feel free to break the star into pieces, so you can spread it over several days.
