Pea Flakes

Pea flakes are a nutritious and tasty treat that can be a great addition to the diet of small animals. Made from dried peas, these flakes are rich in protein, fibre, and essential vitamins like vitamin C, which is especially beneficial for guinea pigs, who cannot synthesize this vitamin on their own. The high fiber content in pea flakes helps promote healthy digestion and prevent constipation, while the protein supports muscle growth and overall health. Pea flakes are also low in fat, making them a suitable snack for small pets like rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils, providing a healthy energy boost without contributing to weight gain. Additionally, the crunchy texture of pea flakes encourages natural chewing behaviors, which can help keep teeth healthy and well-maintained. While pea flakes are a nutritious treat, they should be offered in moderation to avoid overfeeding, as too much protein or fibre can upset the delicate balance of a small pet’s diet.

Please note, like with all botanicals and herbs, it’s best to introduce them slowly to your pet’s diet to keep things easy on their tummy. Dried fruit and veggies should just be a part of a balanced diet, not the whole thing.

We advise to take care with all feeds in young animals.
