What's on Your Small Pet's 2024 Holiday Wish List?

The holiday season is a great time to spoil your small pet. Whether you have a rabbit, guinea pig, rat, ferret, or another pal, you want to find perfect gifts to delight your small, fuzzy animal (and entertain you!). But where do you start?

As you make your holiday gift list, consider adorable little stocking stuffers, interactive toys to beat boredom, delicious treats for a festive holiday meal, or a little upgrade to your pet's habitat. Whether you're celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another winter holiday, this guide will help you create a very merry celebration for your tiny furry friend.

Stocking Stuffers

If you hang your stockings by the chimney with care, remember to fill one with little gifts for your chinchilla, gerbil, or other small pet. A mix of tasty treats and enriching toys make great stocking stuffers.

Kaytee Granola Bites with Superfoods come in two flavors: Spinach & Carrot or Cranberry, Apple & Flax Seed. Each bite is packed with prebiotics, probiotics, and bursts of flavor.

Satisfy your pet's instincts to chew, chew, chew with Kaytee Timothy Biscuits Baked with Apples treats. Kaytee's best-selling treat helps promote dental health and is an ideal way to bond with your small animal. It's also available in a delicious Baked with Carrots flavor.

Don't forget to throw in some Kaytee Superfood Treat Sticks. These feature strawberry and flaxseed bites your pet will love. Consider tossing in some Kaytee Super C Bites, made with timothy hay and vitamin C and flavored with cranberry and orange.

Delish Meals

Indulge your fuzzy friend with gourmet meals this holiday. Try a mix of flavors to see what your pet likes best!

Kaytee Natural Snack with Superfoods in Apple & Carrot flavor or Sweet Potato & Cranberry is a great place to start. These snacks are wholesome and tasty, with no fillers or artificial preservatives. They can be standalone snacks or used as a topper on your pet's daily food.

If you're looking for a treat to delight a rabbit or guinea pig, try Kaytee Food from the Wild Natural Snack. This tasty snack features carrots, marigolds, rose petals, spinach, and strawberries.

If you want to give a holiday upgrade to your small pet's foraging game, try Kaytee Timothy Hay Plus with Cranberries. This treat is ideal for pet rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas over seven months of age and features long-strand hay plus a variety of flavors to encourage foraging.

Upgrading Your Pet's Space

Another fun way to celebrate the holidays is by upgrading your small animal's home to be more mentally enriching. Check out these ideas to help get you started on the right "paw."

For pet chinchillas and rats, upgrade their flat to the My First Home Multi-Level for Exotics. The habitat's wires lock directly into the base for added security and durability. And the latches are made from chew-proof wire. The multiple levels give your small pet extra places to climb, play, and explore.

Guinea pigs and rabbits will love the Kaytee Open Living Habitat, which comes in two sizes: one with eight square feet of living space and a larger one with 12.5 square feet. Both feature a large, open-format living space with chew-proof latches, easy access for feeding and cleaning, and a waterproof liner. You can even connect two open habitats to create even more living space!

If you have hamsters, gerbils, or mice craving a little more fun, gift them the Kaytee CritterTrail Loop-D-Loop Accessory Kit. Expand your existing CritterTrail habitat with these Bubble Wave Fun-nel connector tubes, rings, and loop-d-loops for unlimited adventures.

Looking for more chinchilla or guinea pig gifts? Your fuzzy friends will love the Kaytee Super Sleeper Cuddle-E-Cup. This cozy, machine-washable animal bed features an ultra-soft faux fur interior and strong straps for secure positioning.

Boredom Busters
