Vitamin deficiency in rodents

Imagine a situation. The rodent, it would seem, is healthy, but then his eyesight deteriorates sharply, sores appear on his lips, hair falls out or the work of the gastrointestinal tract goes astray. An inexperienced owner will decide that these are sudden health problems that did not depend on him in any way. However, in practice, many “sudden” diseases are not sudden at all. On the contrary, it is the result of weeks, months and even years of unbalanced nutrition and, as a result, a lack of vitamins in the body.

It is very difficult to organize a balanced diet for a rodent at home. It is necessary to provide for so many features: to comply with the norm, not to mix up the components, not to miscalculate with quality, not to accidentally give the pet an inappropriate product. But even if you follow all the rules, with a natural type of feeding, the rodent will still have to be given an additional vitamin and mineral complex. This will help to avoid a lack of vitamins in his body.

Ready-made feeds are much more convenient in this regard. All components in them are ideally balanced for the daily needs of the rodent, and vitamin and mineral complexes are no longer required. In addition, the owner does not have to spend time preparing food, and this is a big plus at the modern pace of life.

However, not all prepared foods are created equal. In order for the diet to really work for the health of the pet, it must be: high-quality, balanced and contain a complex of nutraceuticals. Let’s talk in more detail about each point.

Quality

In order to be easily digested and saturate the body with vitamins, the food must be of high quality. This means that it must contain selected, purified components, and its packaging must be strong and intact. Do not purchase rations of dubious quality, in damaged packaging. Otherwise, when you bring food home, you may find unpleasant surprises in it: for example, mold or insects.

A poor-quality diet is dangerous for the life of a pet! Choose diets designed for a specific type of rodent.

Component balance

The feed must be complete and balanced. So your pet will receive daily exactly those components and exactly in those proportions that he needs for a healthy life.

Nutraceutical Complex

The complex of nutraceuticals in the composition of the feed is an effective prevention of beriberi. Nutraceuticals are additional sources of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, amino acids and dietary fiber. Their main purpose is to control the balance of nutrients in the body. They seem to strengthen all weak points. If the content of any vitamin drops, nutraceuticals get to work and replenish it. Conversely, if the vitamin becomes too much, nutraceuticals eliminate its excess. Thus, nutraceuticals maintain the balance of nutrients, prevent vitamin deficiencies and all the resulting diseases.

Of course, everything will be fine with vitamins in a rodent only if the diet is followed on an ongoing basis. If today you feed your pet with food from the table, and tomorrow you give him special food and repeat all this, there will be no benefit. Health is always an investment. And the more responsible you are in caring for your pet, the longer it will delight you!
