Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best bedding for guinea pigs?

Paper-based or hemp bedding is generally best for guinea pigs, as it is dust-free and highly absorbent compared to standard wood shavings. Our small animal supplies range includes both hemp and paper bedding, alongside traditional wood shavings for owners who prefer a natural look. Dust-free bedding helps prevent respiratory irritation and keeps hutches drier for longer between full cleans.

What do rabbits need to eat?

Rabbits need a diet based mainly on hay, supplemented with a small amount of high-fibre dry food and fresh vegetables. Our rabbit and guinea pig supplies include vet-recommended mixes from Burgess and Supreme Petfoods, both formulated to support healthy digestion. Fresh water should always be available via a bottle or bowl.

How often should I clean my small animal's hutch?

Most small animal hutches need a full clean at least once a week, with spot cleaning of soiled bedding every one to two days. Regular cleaning reduces odour, prevents bacteria build-up and keeps bedding dry and comfortable. Our small animal supplies range includes disinfectants and cage cleaners designed specifically for rabbit, guinea pig and hamster housing.

What size hutch does a rabbit need?

A single rabbit needs a hutch measuring at least 6ft by 2ft by 2ft, with access to an attached run for daily exercise. Larger breeds and pairs of rabbits need proportionally more space to move, stand fully upright and stretch out. Our small animal cages and hutches range includes a variety of sizes from Harrisons to suit gardens of every size.

Can guinea pigs and rabbits live together?

Guinea pigs and rabbits are best kept separately, as they have different dietary needs and can injure each other during play or dominance disputes. Rabbits can also carry bacteria that cause respiratory illness in guinea pigs. We stock separate small animal supplies and housing suited to each species, so both pets get the space and diet they need.
