We recommend feeding your bird or small animal a food that has been specifically formulated for your particular bird or animal as they have their own nutritional needs. Parakeets have different nutritional needs compared to cockatiels and finches therefore should have a diet formulated accordingly. (KAYTEE Forti-Diet Pro Health Parakeet) Guinea pigs require a food formulated with appropriate levels of vitamin C or they will get scurvy and rabbits need a diet high in fiber. (KAYTEE Fiesta Max Guinea Pig) Hamsters and gerbils do have similar nutritional needs and can eat the same foods. (KAYTEE Forti-Diet Hamster) It is important to feed your bird or small animal a diet that is specifically formulated to provide the nutritional balance intended for that particular bird or animal. If you have any questions about what to feed a specific bird or small animal please email us at customerservice@kaytee.com and we will be happy to assist you.
