Natural PELLETS for Rabbits and Rodents Made with STEAM <\/i><\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"Pellets](\"https:\/\/www.riberosat.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/pellets-540x360.jpg\" "\\"Pellets")
<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>At Ribero, we believe that the quality of a pellet begins long before it takes shape. It all starts with the careful selection of raw materials<\/strong>.<\/p>\nOur steam-made pellets are produced from carefully selected hay, plants, flowers, herbs and vegetables, which are then chopped and pressed to create small 4 mm pellets<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThis format makes it easy to offer a variety of plant-based ingredients in a practical, consistent way as part of the complementary diet of rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters and other small rodents.<\/p>\n
A different way to introduce new aromas, flavours and textures<\/strong>, while always keeping high-quality hay as a fundamental part of the diet of small herbivores.<\/p>\nTurning a plant, flower or vegetable into a pellet does not improve its quality by itself. Quality has to be present from the very beginning<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThat is why our philosophy is simple: select well first, so we can produce well afterwards.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>What are Ribero pellets?<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRibero pellets are small, compact pieces made from natural ingredients such as hay, plants, flowers or vegetables<\/strong>.<\/p>\nUnlike a compound feed, each pellet is made mainly from the ingredient that defines that particular variety.<\/p>\n
The process transforms plant-based ingredients into a format that is easy to serve, store and use as a complementary food within a varied diet.<\/p>\n
Our range includes pellets made from alfalfa, green oats, dandelion, calendula, rose petals, chamomile, artichoke, carrot, tomato, beetroot, red pepper and parsley<\/strong>, among other varieties available from Ribero.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>How do we make our steam-made pellets?<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div>The steam process<\/strong> allows us to compact the plant-based ingredients and obtain a pellet with a uniform texture that is easy to handle.<\/p>\nAt Ribero, we aim to preserve as much as possible of the natural characteristics of the original ingredient: its aroma, colour and flavour<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWe achieve this through:<\/p>\n
\n- Selected ingredients:<\/strong> Plants, flowers, vegetables and forage carefully chosen for each variety.<\/li>\n
- Made with steam:<\/strong> A simple process that creates a compact and practical format.<\/li>\n
- Natural aroma and flavour:<\/strong> Each pellet retains the organoleptic characteristics of its main ingredient.<\/li>\n
- More variety in the diet:<\/strong> Pellets make it easy to introduce new textures, aromas and flavours as part of complementary feeding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPelletisation is not the same as extrusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlthough they may look similar at first glance, pelletisation and extrusion are two different manufacturing processes<\/strong>.<\/p>\nDuring pelletisation, the raw material is prepared, conditioned and then compacted under pressure through a die, which determines the final shape and diameter of the pellet.<\/p>\n
Extrusion uses a different processing method, involving combinations of pressure, moisture, temperature and mechanical transformation of the feed.<\/p>\n
At Ribero, we have chosen steam pelletisation<\/strong> because it allows us to offer our selected plant-based ingredients in a compact format while keeping the identity of the original ingredient clear and recognisable.<\/p>\nOur aim is not to hide the ingredient. Quite the opposite. We want to be able to explain what is inside each pellet and where it comes from.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>Natural pellets for discovering new flavours<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div>One of the most interesting features of our range is its variety.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNot all pellets taste or smell the same.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\nA rose<\/strong> pellet offers a completely different floral aroma from an artichoke<\/strong> pellet, while varieties such as beetroot, carrot or red pepper<\/strong> introduce more intense vegetable aromas.<\/p>\nThis diversity makes it possible to offer different feeding experiences and discover which ingredients spark the greatest interest and curiosity in each animal.<\/p>\n
That is why Ribero already uses some of these pellets in its enrichment activities and Buffets<\/strong>, combining them with hay, leaves, flowers, herbs and vegetables.<\/p>\n<\/div>Our range of steam-made pellets<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\nForage and Plant Pellets<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/h2><\/div>![\"Pellets](\"https:\/\/www.riberosat.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/pellets-plantas-y-henos-540x405.jpg\" "\\"Pellets")

Rabbits and many small rodents naturally spend time sniffing, exploring and searching for food<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe small size and concentrated aroma of the pellets make them ideal for creating simple enrichment activities.<\/p>\n
You can try:<\/p>\n
\n- hiding a few pellets among the hay;<\/li>\n
- scattering them around different areas of their enclosure;<\/li>\n
- placing them in a snuffle mat;<\/li>\n
- putting them inside toys or forage dispensers;<\/li>\n
- mixing them with leaves, flowers and herbs;<\/li>\n
- using them as small rewards during an activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In this way, feeding time can also become an opportunity for exploration, scent-based activity and foraging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>How to offer pellets to rabbits and rodents?<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div>Ribero pellets should be used as a complementary food<\/strong> within a diet adapted to the needs of each species.<\/p>\nThey can be offered:<\/p>\n
\n- As a small treat:<\/strong> Give a small amount directly as a reward.<\/li>\n
- Mixed with hay:<\/strong> This can increase interest in feeding and encourage natural foraging behaviour.<\/li>\n
- In foraging trays:<\/strong> Combined with leaves, flowers, plants and other natural ingredients.<\/li>\n
- In enrichment activities:<\/strong> Hidden in toys, tunnels, snuffle mats or placed in different areas of their enclosure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
When introducing a new food, we recommend doing so<\/em> gradually and in small amounts<\/strong><\/em>, while always observing the individual animal\u2019s tolerance.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>Important<\/strong><\/p><\/h2><\/div>Ribero pellets are complementary foods<\/strong> and should be offered in amounts appropriate for each animal\u2019s species, age, size and individual needs.<\/p>\nThey do not replace high-quality hay available at all times<\/strong>, a complete and balanced diet, or veterinary care from a veterinarian experienced in exotic animals.<\/p>\nFor animals with health conditions, pregnant or nursing females, or animals receiving any treatment, consult your veterinarian before introducing them.<\/p>\n
If you notice loss of appetite, digestive problems, changes in droppings, pain, lethargy or any significant change in behaviour, seek advice from a veterinarian experienced in exotic animals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
