Marriage’s has expanded its small animal range to cater for the individual nutritional needs of five additional species beyond rabbits and guinea pigs.

The new premium quality Nutri Pressed range is presented in new packaging, with the option of pellets or mixes and a good choice of pack sizes.

The complete range of 13 products, formulated specifically for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats and mice, mark phase two of the brand’s distinctive new identity, which follows hot on the heels of their indoor and aviary bird relaunch last month.

Marriage’s new small animal range is produced using the advantageous Nutri Pressed method, which combines expert nutrition with cool pressing technology, for superior nutrient content and flavour. Cooler processing temperatures help to retain more of the nutrients which may otherwise be lost during higher temperature manufacturing methods.

All the Nutri Pressed diets have added linseed, a natural source of Omega 3 and 6 to help support a healthy skin and coat, while a prebiotic helps to support a healthy digestive tract. There is no added sugar and no artificial colours, to ensure that every diet is as natural as possible.

Sarah Kitson, head of marketing at WHM Pet Group, said: “Bursting with tasty ingredients, our Nutri Pressed products are an exciting alternative to traditional extruded nuggets.

“What we really love about our Nutri Pressed small animal feeds is how natural they really are. Due to the way that they are manufactured they are not over processed, which results in a whole host of benefits.”

New pack sizes have also been introduced across the category to cater for customer purchasing requirements, with weights ranging from 750g all the way up to 10kg.

Ms Kitson added: “At Marriage’s we know that your customers want the very best for their pets and so do we.

“With our smart, new packaging on the outside and our new Nutri Pressed formulations on the inside, we are extremely proud to be able to provide optimum nutrition and the dietary preferences for each different species.”
