Exciting news, we now sell Oathay! Catering to all the bunny and guinea pig parents. 🌿🐇

We know how hard it has been to deal with hay mites and mold as of late, so we thought we would step in and make a difference. 🫂

We source our bales from one trusted supplier who has proven to supply high-quality and well stored oathay through the year. As per our founder's comment:
"As an overly paranoid "giant rabbit" (horse) mum I went on a hunt in 2024 for oathay that I deemed green and dust-free enough for my thoroughbreds, luckily I found a supplier who exceeded my expectations and had suitable storage facilities allowing for high-quality oathay through the year. Being familiar with the dilemma regarding oathay and exotics I felt it neccesary to provide owners with access to the quality their pets deserve."

For collection only 📦

Good news! 🌿

We always try to keep our prices as fair and affordable as possible while still maintaining the quality and variety that goes into every mix.

We've recently been able to lower some costs behind the scenes, which means we can currently reduce the price on our Natural Blend range for both rats and hamsters 🐹🐭

Our Natural Blend daily food mixes are carefully made with a wide variety of wholesome ingredients, natural forage elements, and balanced nutrition in mind, without compromising on quality.

Whenever we are able to reduce prices sustainably, we will always try to pass that saving on to you. Prices may still fluctuate depending on ingredient and supplier costs, but affordability and accessibility will always remain important to us especially where it is possible.

We also wanted to thank our customers for supporting us through the years as we progress toward making a change in South African Rat's & Hamster's quality of life. 💚✨️

We've seen some concern online about Hantavirus following the recent news of international travelers who became ill. We know how much worry can swirl around our rodent companions so we want to share some clear, heartening facts so that you can feel at ease and continue treating rodents with the kindness they deserve as sentient beings. 🐁🌿

We are concerned for how the public may act out towards our local rodent populations. Please share this information with others. 💚🙏

Oliver’s Burrow Hamster Dry Mix 🐹🌿

Carefully crafted as a balanced base diet for both Syrian and Dwarf hamsters, to be fed alongside fresh food daily for a complete, healthy diet.
Grounded in scientific principles, our mix focuses on balanced macronutrients, functional fibre diversity, controlled fat content, and ingredient variety, supporting long-term health, optimal digestion, and natural foraging behaviours.

www.oliversburrow.co.za

💚 Macronutrient Balance
Our formulation provides a balanced foundation of protein, fibre, and fat to support healthy growth, lean muscle maintenance, and coat quality. Multi-source dietary fibre from grains, seeds, legumes, and botanicals promotes gastrointestinal motility and gut microbiota balance, while moderate fat levels provide essential fatty acids without excessive energy density.
💚 Controlled Fat & Oilseed Ratio
A grain-to-oilseed ratio of ~3.7:1 ensures balanced fatty acids and moderate energy. Functional seeds and fats are included in precise proportions to support metabolism, coat condition, and overall wellbeing.
💚 Protein Sources
A carefully balanced mix of plant proteins and salmon-derived animal protein provides highly bioavailable amino acids and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA), supporting muscle maintenance, healthy growth, coat quality, and metabolic health.
💚 Fibre Complexity & Digestive Support
Diverse fibre sources deliver structural and soluble fibre to promote healthy digestion, satiety, and natural feeding behaviour. This multi-source approach supports balanced gut microbiota and overall digestive stability.
💚 Botanical & Herbal Enrichment
Selected herbs and botanicals supply trace minerals, plant micronutrients, and gentle dietary enrichment. These ingredients encourage natural foraging behaviours while supporting digestive wellbeing and behavioural stimulation.
💚 Species Suitability
This mix is suitable for both Syrian and dwarf hamsters. Controlled protein and moderate fat provide enough energy for the larger Syrian while supporting healthy glucose balance in dwarf hamsters, which are more prone to insulin sensitivity and weight gain.
💚 Balanced Feeding
No added sugars or excessive palatability enhancers, encouraging uniform consumption across all ingredients.
💚 Key Scientific Advantages
• Balanced protein and fat within recommended ranges
• Grain-to-oilseed ratio ~3.7:1 for moderate energy and optimal fatty acids
• Multi-source, high-fibre diet supporting gut health and satiety
• Botanical enrichment for micronutrients and behavioural stimulation
• Suitable for both Syrian and dwarf hamsters, supporting long-term health
