Back to Instinct Sniffing Forest for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Back to Instinct Sniffing Forest for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Back to Instinct Snuffelbos is a natural sniffing and foraging game for rodents and rabbits. The game consists of a sturdy natural base with wooden discs, hardwood, mountain meadow hay, plant starch, and lignocellulose. You can hide small snacks, herbs, or pieces of vegetables between the discs so that your animal has to actively search.

This makes the Sniffing Forest great fun for animals that love using their noses. Instead of giving a snack directly in a bowl, you turn it into a search moment. Your animal has to sniff, push, investigate, and search purposefully for the reward. This way, feeding immediately becomes a form of natural enrichment.

The Snuffelbos measures approximately 13 x 20 cm and weighs 240 grams. Due to its compact size, it fits well in many enclosures and is also convenient to offer temporarily during playtime.

Why choose JR Farm Back to Instinct Snuffelbos?

Many rodents and rabbits naturally spend a large part of their time searching for edible plant parts. In an enclosure, you can encourage this behavior by not always offering food and snacks immediately, but by hiding them in a foraging game.

JR Farm Snuffelbos helps with this in a very simple way. You hide a few small treats among the wooden discs and let your animal search for them itself. This makes snack time calmer, longer, and more interesting. Animals that eat quickly or like to explore their surroundings, in particular, will enjoy this.

The natural materials fit beautifully into an enclosure with wood, hay, herbs, and other natural furnishings. Thanks to the combination of hardwood and mountain meadow hay, the Snuffelbos has a sturdy, fiber-rich structure that animals can also sniff and nibble on.

For which animals is the Sniffing Forest suitable?

JR Farm Back to Instinct Snuffle Forest is suitable as supplementary enrichment for rabbits and various rodents. Tailor the snacks you hide inside to the animal species and their normal feeding pattern.

Use & offer

Place the Sniffing Forest in a dry, stable spot in the enclosure or offer it separately during playtime. Hide small amounts of snacks, herbs, or pieces of vegetables between the wooden discs. Start simple so your animal understands there is something to search for.

Want to make it a bit more difficult? Hide the rewards deeper between the discs or use smaller pieces. This keeps the game challenging and encourages your pet to sniff and search longer.

Check the Snuffelbos regularly during use. Remove wet or soiled residue and remove any remaining fresh vegetables in a timely manner. Replace the product when it is heavily chewed or no longer stays fresh.

What does this compound mean?

The base of the Snuffelbos consists of deciduous wood and mountain meadow hay. This gives the product a natural structure and makes it suitable for use as a search and sniff game. Lignocellulose is a plant-based fiber component, and plant starch helps to give the product shape and firmness.

The Sniffing Forest is intended as supplementary enrichment and foraging play. The nutritional value of the product itself is less important than the activity it creates: searching, sniffing, and being quietly occupied.
