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.
