Ask the vet - Rodent

Do guinea pigs and rabbits need mineral or salt stones?

Vet at FirstVet answers:

Neither rabbits nor guinea pigs need access to mineral or salt stones. On the contrary, if too much salt is consumed urinary bladder stones can develop, or in the worse case scenario, salt poisoning.
