Versele Laga

Versele-Laga is a Belgian maker of food for birds, rodents and small pets, grown out of a family firm into one of the European references of the trade. What marks it out is that it formulates by species rather than by category: the rat, the ferret and the chinchilla do not eat alike, and the range acknowledges that.

We carry three families. The food: Prestige Premium for budgies, Rat Nature, Ferret Pro for ferrets, Nature Timothy hay with pepper and parsnip. The treats, including the herb Crocks. And the housing upkeep: compressed shavings and special chinchilla bathing sand.

Bathing sand is not a luxury for a chinchilla: without regular sand baths its very dense coat holds grease and eventually mats.
