Often Mistaken For

Is Rocket item toxic?

No. Rocket (arugula) is not toxic in small portions for rabbits and guinea pigs when fed as part of a varied veggie rotation. Overfeeding any leafy green without enough hay can still upset digestion.

Should I feed my pet Rocket?

Yes, in small amounts as part of a varied daily fresh-food rotation for rabbits and guinea pigs. Chinchillas need smaller, less frequent greens—ask your vet. Unlimited grass hay stays the main diet.

How much can I feed them?

Offer a small handful of washed leaves per rabbit-sized pet with other greens, or use the Rabbit Hole Hay food calculator for your species. Skip if stools soften or your pet refuses hay.
