Carrot is a type of fruit that stimulates the rodent's appetite, strengthens its teeth and helps to combat constipation problems. It is also considered a diuretic food due to its high water content and helps to eliminate kidney stones.

For all these reasons, hay with carrots is highly recommended as the basis of any rodent's diet. Remember that hay is essential in their diet, as it ensures that their digestive system functions correctly and should make up at least 70% of their diet.
