What Can Small Pets Eat?

Vet-reviewed food safety guides for small pets

Small pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, rats, gerbils, and hedgehogs have delicate digestive systems that are easily upset by the wrong foods. Many common household foods — grapes, raisins, onions, chocolate, avocado — are toxic to small mammals. Species differences matter too: what is safe for a guinea pig may not be safe for a hamster. Our guides are written per species, covering safe foods, correct serving sizes, toxic foods to avoid completely, and what to do if your small pet has eaten something harmful.
