It is naturally rich in antioxidants, folate and fibre. The amount used in these drops (6.7%) is carefully measured to be suitable as a complementary treat. As with all treats, feed in moderation alongside a hay-based diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the colour so vibrant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe deep purple-pink colour of the drops comes entirely from the natural beetroot pigment (betalain) — no artificial colours are added. This is a great indicator of real beetroot content rather than artificial flavouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy sugar-free and lactose-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters have sensitive digestive systems not well adapted to sugar or lactose. Both can disrupt gut flora and cause digestive upsets. A sugar-free and lactose-free recipe makes these drops a significantly safer treat option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use these for foraging enrichment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — scatter drops through hay, hide them in foraging toys or place in a puzzle feeder to stimulate natural foraging behaviour. This provides valuable mental enrichment, particularly for rabbits and guinea pigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the case of 9?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case of 9 × 75g resealable bags offers excellent bulk value and ensures you’re never without treats for bonding sessions or enrichment feeding. Ideal for multi-animal households.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitakraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43490981314728,"sku":"C-4008239266194","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/7998\/4808\/files\/Vitakraft_Small_Animal_Beetroot_Drops.jpg?v=1789629856","url":"https:\/\/timepaws.uk\/products\/vitakraft-beetroot-drops","provider":"Time Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
