Product Questions & IngredientsUpdated 3 hours ago

We know how important it is to feel confident about what you’re feeding your little ones. Here are answers to some of the most common product-related questions.


🧪 What’s in your products?

You’ll find full ingredient lists on each product page, including our hay, food, herbal blends, and treats.

If you're comparing pellet types, here's a helpful breakdown:

  • Soy-Free, Non-GMO Pellets: Made with timothy hay, ground grass, and pumpkin seeds. No soy. No molasses.

  • Regular Pellets: Made with timothy hay and soybean meal. A small amount of molasses is used to bind the pellets.

Still not sure what’s best? We always recommend checking with your exotic vet for personalized advice.


☘️ Are herbs like comfrey and kava kava safe?

Yes—in the amounts we use, these ingredients are safe for small animals.

  • Comfrey is used sparingly in our Zen Tranquility blend for its calming properties.

  • Kava kava is included in very small quantities to promote relaxation.
    All herbal blends are made with food-grade, pet-safe ingredients and are vet-reviewed.

That said, every pet is different. If your vet has advised against certain herbs, we can help find an alternative.


🍬 Do your products contain sugar or molasses?

Some of our regular pellets contain a very small amount of molasses to help bind the ingredients.
If you’re avoiding added sugar entirely, we recommend our Non-GMO, Soy-Free Pellets, which contain no molasses or sweeteners.


🍽️ Can I mix hay or feed types together?

Absolutely! Many pet parents combine:

  • Different cuts of timothy hay (1st, 2nd, 3rd)

  • Varieties like orchard, oat, and meadow

  • Different herbal blends

Mixing hay keeps things exciting and encourages natural foraging behavior.
