Ruby Inferno
Teenage Guinea Pig
When I got my first pair of piggies from a pet shop (back then, I was not aware of how bad breeding/pet shops are, I would never buy animals from pet shops again because breeding does not help with all the homeless animals in rescues. However I do still buy hay and toys from that pet shop, which I don't mind doing because they really care about their animals and apparently they only buy from ethical breeders so I don't feel I'm supporting any kind of cruelty) during May last year, they had a Whimzees dog treat in their enclosure in the shop and they let us keep it when we brought the piggies home, they absolutely loved it so I've been feeding them to all of my piggies as well as my gerbils for a long time without any problems, however it has suddenly dawned on me they may not actually be suitable because information from pet shops can be very inacurrate?
Here is the list of ingredients: Potato starch, glycerin, powdered cellulose, lecithin, yeast, colour added (malt extract, annatto extract, alfalfa extract).
One of the Whimzees treats contains calcium carbonate for colouring, but I never feed them that one.
If you happen to know how safe these ingredients are, please let me know.
Edit: Oh and if you know if gerbils can eat them too that would be very helpful, but if you don't that's absolutely fine.
