The Honey \u0026amp; Spelt variety pairs the natural sweetness of honey with spelt, an ancient wholegrain that is higher in fibre and protein than modern wheat — all in a sugar-free recipe enriched with essential Vitamin C. Guinea pigs cannot synthesise Vitamin C internally, making dietary sources important, and these Kräcker provide a useful supplementary contribution. With a practical cage clip for easy mounting, these sticks support natural gnawing behaviour and lasting enrichment. This case of 5 packs gives you 10 sticks in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHoney \u0026amp; spelt\u003c\/strong\u003e — natural honey sweetness paired with spelt, an ancient grain higher in fibre and protein than modern wheat; a wholesome flavour combination guinea pigs love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnriched with Vitamin C\u003c\/strong\u003e — guinea pigs cannot produce Vitamin C internally; these Kräcker provide a supplementary dietary contribution to their essential daily Vitamin C needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSugar-free recipe\u003c\/strong\u003e — no added sugar; a healthier treat choice suitable for guinea pigs’ sensitive digestive systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRich in fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e — spelt and cereal base provide dietary fibre to support healthy gut motility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBaked three times on natural wood\u003c\/strong\u003e — triple-baking locks in real flavours and creates the ideal crunchy gnaw texture for continuously growing guinea pig teeth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitality Plus formula\u003c\/strong\u003e — supports overall health and wellbeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePractical cage clip\u003c\/strong\u003e — clips easily to cage bars for lasting enrichment and environmental stimulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2 sticks per pack — case of 5 = 10 sticks total\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eClip the Kräcker to the cage bars using the practical cage clip. Allow your guinea pig to gnaw freely at their own pace. Feed as a treat alongside a complete and balanced guinea pig diet including unlimited hay, fresh vegetables (especially Vitamin C-rich options such as bell peppers and leafy greens) and a quality guinea pig nugget. Treats should make up no more than 5% of daily food intake. Always ensure fresh water is available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy do guinea pigs need Vitamin C in their treats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuinea pigs lack the enzyme needed to synthesise Vitamin C internally and must obtain it entirely through their diet. A deficiency causes scurvy — a serious condition causing joint pain, weight loss, poor coat condition and immune suppression. Fresh Vitamin C-rich vegetables (especially bell peppers) should be the primary source, but Vitamin C-enriched treats like these Kräcker provide a helpful supplementary contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is spelt and why is it good for guinea pigs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpelt is an ancient grain predating modern wheat, with a higher fibre and protein content. Fibre is critically important for guinea pigs, whose digestive systems require a constant supply to function correctly — alongside hay, which should form the vast majority of their diet. Spelt in small amounts as part of a treat provides wholesome nutritional variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the Kräcker baked three times?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitakraft’s triple-baking process creates a firm, crunchy texture ideal for guinea pigs’ continuously growing teeth. Regular gnawing on appropriate materials is essential for dental health and prevents overgrowth, which can cause serious problems in guinea pigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this sugar-free despite containing honey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — the Sugar Free Recipe label means no refined sugar has been added. Honey is included as a natural flavouring ingredient in controlled amounts. This is significantly healthier than treats with added sugar, glucose syrup or artificial sweeteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the case of 5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe case of 5 × 112g packs (10 sticks total) offers better value per pack and ensures you always have a Kräcker ready for your guinea pig’s enrichment routine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitakraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43315009126568,"sku":"C-4008239257475","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0520\/7998\/4808\/files\/VitakraftGuineaPigHoney_SpeltSticks2pk112g.jpg?v=1794214412","url":"https:\/\/timepaws.uk\/products\/vitakraft-kracker-honey-spelt-guinea-pig","provider":"Time Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
