Supplementary food for small pets
Rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters need more than just their everyday staple food. Depending on the species and diet, it may be useful to add specific minerals, vitamins or plant-based ingredients. Supplementary food for small pets makes it easier to add these extras without changing the animal’s entire daily feeding routine.
The range includes herbs, mineral blocks and specialised nutritional supplements. Nature Land is a practical option for owners looking to add herbs or mineral-based products to their pet’s diet. Different formats make it easier to choose an option that suits the animal’s feeding needs and everyday routine.

Choose supplementary food to suit your small pet’s needs
Supplementary food for small pets should be chosen according to the species, everyday diet and intended purpose. It is designed to complement regular feeding rather than replace a suitable staple food or hay, which remains an important part of the diet for many small pets.
Depending on what you want to add to the diet and how you prefer to serve it, there are three main product groups to consider:
- Mineral supplements: mineral blocks or licking stones can be used when they are appropriate for the animal’s diet and offered according to the product instructions. Trixie offers mineral blocks that can be conveniently placed in a cage or enclosure.
- Vitamin supplements: these are suitable when a particular nutrient needs to be added according to the species’ requirements or the product directions. Versele-Laga offers liquid vitamin products that can be measured according to the recommended dosage.
- Herbs and plant-based ingredients: these can add variety to the daily diet and provide an additional option alongside staple food. When choosing a product, check the ingredients and make sure it is intended for the type of small pet you keep.
Before choosing a supplement, it helps to identify what your pet actually needs so you can avoid adding nutrients that are already covered by the regular diet and select a convenient format for everyday use. VITAKRAFT also offers options for daily dietary supplementation that can be selected according to the animal species and feeding routine.
