Subscription Boxes for Your Other Pets

Tails wagging from Texas! We've been so excited about our BarkBox subscription since getting our box last month. The pups can't wait for their June box, and in the meantime we've been wondering if there are subscription boxes for other types of pets. We learned...there sure are!

Let's take a look at some of the available subscription boxes for pets other than dogs and cats. Note that we haven't ordered any of these for ourselves (yet...) but I want to show everyone how many options there are!


 BFF PetPack - For almost ANY pet!
We're talking about BFF PetPack's subscription boxes first because they don't fit into one category below. Why? Because they have boxes for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas ferrets, rats, hedgehogs and hamsters. They even have an option for "other" where you can fill in your pet's information and they will try to provide the perfect products.

Prices and products vary depending on the animal and length of subscription, and they even offer bundles for multi-species households! The boxes ship free, and BFF PetPack is very accommodating of your pet's species, size and individual needs. Considering how expensive toys for parrots and other "exotics" can be, these boxes seem like a good deal.

Small Mammal Subscription Boxes

RatPak - For Rats
This subscription box is US-based with free US shipping! You can choose an original for $25 with 6-7 items, or a mini for $15 with 2 treats and 1 chew toy. Subscriptions automatically renew, and there doesn't seem to be a discount for multiple months of RatPak.

BunnyBox - For Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
BunnyBox is stationed in England, but will ship to North America. Each box includes at least 6 safe toys and treats for your pet. You can order a 1-month or continuous subscription, although we didn't find a discount for ordering multiple months. Each BunnyBox is about $20 and will ship as soon as you order. Shipping is free in the UK, but about $11 to the US.

Happy Bunny Club - For Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
This is another UK-based subscription box. Each box contains 6-7 safe items for your rabbit. The boxes start at about $18 each, although they do offer discounts for 3- or 6-month subscription plans. Shipping outside of the UK is expensive, but may be worth it if you want to spoil your bun!

DOOK Box - For Ferrets
 This is a 6-month subscription box just for ferrets. It includes bedding, toys and treats although I did not find details about quantity or any preview images of boxes. Still, if you have ferrets you know how much they love getting new toys - and it keeps the troublemakers out of your things!

Bird Subscription Boxes

Polly Wanna Bird Box - For Parrots
As a parrot owner, I know how expensive bird toys are, and you go through a lot of them trying to keep your feathered friends entertained! So a parrot subscription box is a brilliant idea. The boxes have 4 size options based on your budget, and you have the opportunity to describe your birds so the toys inside can be tailored to your specific flock. Shipping is free and the items are guaranteed bird-safe.

Henny & Roo - For Chickens
This box includes chicken treats & supplies, first aid and even chicken-themed gifts. Backyard chickens have become popular, and it's only natural to want to spoil these feathered family members. We think a chicken subscription box is clever! Unfortunately we don't own chickens, but if you do, you can get your own Henny & Roo box for $29.95 per month.

Other Subscription Boxes

My Aquarium Box - For Aquariums
Yep, you read that right! You choose saltwater ($29.99) or freshwater ($24.99) and will receive a box full of aquarium supplies. Right now they only offer single months. They have allied with popular aquarium brands like San Francisco Bay, Marineland and Hikari to offer quality aquarium products.

Honestly this one has me a little stumped. As someone who's worked with fresh- and salt-water setups, I'm not sure how you could ensure your tank would need or even be able to use the products sent in the box? Regardless, if you or a friend is an aquarium hobbyist, it might be a fun monthly surprise.

*I will keep this list up-to-date and continue to add more subscription boxes as I find them. I have not personally used any of these boxes, but I encourage you to read reviews and find a plan that fits your animals, big and small!*
