Before you have to ask

The questions worth asking

How much should I feed at once?

Treats are foraging opportunities, not meals. A pinch scattered through bedding gives your critter the searching, digging, and stashing work they'd do in the wild, and small servings keep their staple diet doing the heavy lifting. When in doubt, start smaller than you think.

Could bugs or pests hitch a ride in?

No. These arrive from our suppliers already dried and pest-free, and we keep receiving records on every batch that comes through. We also deliberately stock in small quantities and rotate often, so what ships to you hasn't been sitting in a warehouse.

Where does it come from?

We source from well-established suppliers depending on the treat: human-grade freeze-dried food producers, botanical tea companies, and fish supply companies. Every source we buy from is safe for your critter, and we keep receiving records on everything that enters our stock.

Anything to watch for?

Krill is a crustacean, so if anyone in your household has a shellfish allergy, handle it with that in mind. Otherwise, treat it like any treat: a supplement to a good staple diet, not a replacement for it.

Why buy treats from a small pet brand?

When Evan got his first hamster, every interesting treat came in quantities sized for a horse, and there was no way to know if his hamster would even like it. So we package small. Small portions stay fresh, make trying something new low-stakes, and mean a treat that doesn't land isn't a pound of waste in your cupboard. We test everything with our own critters first, and we build bundles you won't find anywhere else.

How do I serve it?

Scatter it. Sprinkling a pinch through bedding or a dig box turns a treat into ten minutes of sniffing, digging, and cheek-stuffing instead of three seconds of eating from your hand. Hand-feeding works too, especially for taming, but foraging is where the enrichment lives.

How do I store it?

Keep it in the resealable bag it arrives in, somewhere dark and dry. Dried treats hold up well as long as moisture stays out.
