Hedgehogs, sugar gliders, and rats are omnivores and may require pellet food rich in protein and grain. In terms of texture, extruded pellets have a crunchy texture that small animals tend to enjoy- and they also contain lots of necessary vitamins and minerals. Consult your vet with any questions.
No, not all small animals eat the same kind of small animal food pellets. Each species has different nutrient needs, so always choose pellets made for your pet's species. Consult your vet with any questions.
Yes, you can mix small animal food pellets with other food for your small animal. Pellets are made to be the main diet of your pet, so any other food would be treats, which can include fresh food or treats made for your pet's species.
