The digestive systems of many small animals are designed to digest fiber, often requiring up to 80% of their diets as high-quality fiber. Of that amount, 10-25% should come from long-stem forage to encourage natural foraging behavior, help wear down teeth and prevent boredom ...The digestive systems of many small animals are designed to digest fiber, often requiring up to 80% of their diets as high-quality fiber.

Standlee recommends selecting a commercial fiber-based, vitamin and mineral fortified food, like Premium fortified food, and pair it with high-quality, hand-selected long-stem forage. Timothy Grass is NOT intended to be the only component of the diet. Place forages in a hopper or bin to prevent spoilage.
Remove any uneaten forage if it becomes wet, damp, or soiled.
