FAQ

What food should I give my guinea pig, rabbit, or hamster?

Every pet has different nutritional requirements:

  • Guinea pigs can't produce vitamin C, therefore choose vitamin C-rich pellets such as Oxbow or Burgess.
  • Rabbits require a high-fiber diet, which includes timothy hay and SmartHeart pellets.
  • Hamsters enjoy seed mixtures such as Cindy & Friends or Versele-Laga.

All small pets should always have access to fresh water.

Price range: RM10 to RM50, depending on brand and size.

Do they need hay every day?

Yes. Hay is an important daily food for rabbits and guinea pigs because it helps digestion and prevents teeth from becoming too long.

Recommended Product:
- Timothy hay (most commonly recommended)
- Alfalfa hay (suitable for young, growing, or pregnant small animals)

These are available from brands like Oxbow and Rabbit Diet.

Price Range:
Hay packs: RM 10.00 – RM 55.00+

How long does small animal food last once opened?

Most small animal pellets and mixes can stay fresh for 4–6 weeks if stored properly:

  • Keep in original packaging
  • Place inside an airtight container
  • Store in a dry, cool space away from sunlight

This helps maintain freshness, aroma, and nutritional value.

Do you offer treats or special dietary options for small animals?

While most of their listed items are staple diets, you may also find specialty or supplemental feeds from brands like Oxbow or Versele-Laga when available.

What bedding is safe to use?

Always use paper-based or natural wood bedding that is soft, absorbent, and dust-free.
Recommended brands:

  • Chipsi
  • Pets Dream

Price Range: RM20–RM50

Avoid:
✘ Scented bedding
✘ Newspaper ink
✘ Fine wood shavings (can irritate the lungs)

How often should I clean the cage?

Clean the cage at least twice to three times per week, with spot cleaning as needed to remove waste and leftover food. To clean surfaces and prevent odors, wipe them down with small animal-safe disinfectants. A clean cage keeps your pet's health and reduces the chance of skin or respiratory issues. Before you add new bedding, ensure that the cage is completely dry.

Price range: Cleaning sprays and bedding cost around RM10–RM40.

Can I bathe my small pets?

Baths are generally unnecessary for rabbits and guinea pigs, whereas hamsters should never be bathed. Instead, give hamsters sand baths so they may naturally absorb dirt and oil.

Price range: Sand baths and grooming products range from RM10 to RM30.





Can I buy small animal supplies?

Yes. Pets Wonderland sells more than just food, you can also buy:

  • Water bottles
  • Food bowls
  • Exercise wheels
  • Chew toys
  • Play tunnels
    Feeding racks and accessories

This makes it easy to set up a complete habitat for your rabbit, hamster, or guinea pig from one online pet shop.

Price Range: Most items range from RM5–RM45, depending on size and brand.

How can I tell if my small pet is overweight or underweight?

Weight problems in small animals can be identified through:

  • Visible spine or hip bones (underweight)
  • Fat pads forming around the ribs or neck (overweight)
  • Reduced activity
    Changes in food intake

If weight changes occur, consider:

  • Switching to a low-calorie pellet
  • Increasing hay and reducing seed treats
  • Encouraging more activity

For persistent issues, consult a veterinarian.

Can I change my small animal’s food suddenly?

No. Sudden diet changes can cause digestive upset in rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters.

To switch food safely:

  1. Mix 25% new food with 75% old food for 2–3 days
  2. Increase to a 50/50 mix
  3. After a week, switch fully if no stomach issues occur

Gradual transitioning helps your pet adjust safely and prevents digestive stress.
