Set up happy, healthy routines for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice and chinchillas. Curated by Canine & Co for South African homes, this collection brings together species-appropriate foods, safe bedding, spacious habitats and smart enrichment—so little companions can eat, explore and rest well.

What you’ll find

• Complete foods & hay: Pellets for each species, premium grass hay (for herbivores) and vitamin-C support for guinea pigs.
• Bedding & litter: Soft, low-dust paper and aspen options; absorbent, easy-clean choices for tidy homes.
• Habitats & extensions: Cages, pens and runs with add-on platforms, tunnels and hides.
• Bowls & bottles: Non-tip ceramic bowls and drip-smart bottles sized for tiny mouths.
• Chews & foraging: Safe woods (e.g., willow, apple), chew toys, tunnels, snuffle mats and puzzle feeders.
• Health & grooming: Nail tools, gentle brushes, dust-bath sand (for chinchillas) and first-aid basics.
• Cleaners & odour care: Pet-safe sprays and deodorising litter additives.
• Travel & playpens: Carriers, exercise pens and hideaways for stress-free moves and safe floor time.

Pick by pet

• Rabbits & Guinea Pigs: Unlimited grass hay + species-specific pellets; large, flat floor space; chew-safe toys and hide boxes.
• Hamsters: Deep, diggable bedding; solid-surface exercise wheel; multiple hides and chew sticks.
• Rats & Mice: Multi-level setups with hammocks and ladders; foraging toys; sturdy water bottles.
• Chinchillas: Spacious, well-ventilated habitat; regular dust baths; chew blocks and ledges for safe jumping.

Daily basics

• Fresh water & food: Top up daily; offer hay freely to herbivores; add leafy greens as appropriate.
• Chew options: Provide safe woods/mineral-free chews to support teeth wear (no treated or painted woods).
• Hide & rest: At least one hide per pet—more for groups to reduce stress.
• Floor time: Supervised exercise in a secure pen or room-proofed space.

Habitat & bedding tips

• Bigger is better: Prioritise continuous floor space over just height; add tunnels for variety.
• Choose safe bedding: Low-dust paper or aspen; avoid scented/strong-aroma softwood shavings.
• Solid surfaces: Use solid ramps/wheels (no bars) to protect tiny feet and spines.
• Spot-clean daily, deep-clean weekly: Replace soiled areas often; wash bowls/bottles and refresh hides.

Treats & foraging

• Use species-appropriate treats in tiny amounts; hide a few pieces in bedding or puzzle toys for natural foraging.
• Rotate toys weekly to keep curiosity high and reduce cage boredom.

Care & safety

• Introduce changes slowly: New foods over several days; watch appetite and stools.
• Temperature & airflow: Keep habitats away from direct sun, drafts and strong heat sources.
• Vet time: Lethargy, not eating, dental drool, breathing changes or diarrhoea require prompt veterinary advice.
