Grain-free snacks – high-fiber indulgence & foraging fun
Looking for grain-free snacks that complement a high-fiber diet? In this category, you'll find grain-free snacks made with plant ingredients like herbs, leaves, flowers, and vegetables (and their fibers). These are especially suitable for herbivores like rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. Other rodents and rabbits can also benefit from these as a small addition to a suitable overall diet. Specialists since 2011, so you can choose with confidence and with help.
Many grain-free snacks are based on plant fiber and herbs. Complete the menu with hay and appropriate basic feed .
Use small pieces as "search moments." Combine with ideas from interactive snacks or make it even more challenging with items from play & foraging .
It's better to eat small and varied than a large amount of one snack. For example, alternate with herbal snacks , dried vegetables , or snack sticks .
Choosing grain-free snacks: what to look for
Not every snack is suitable for every animal species. These tips will help you make the right choice:
- Animal species : Herbivores generally benefit more from high-fiber, plant-based snacks.
- Portion & frequency : Snacks are a treat. It's best to eat smaller portions and vary your meals.
- Texture : Some animals like to nibble, others like small crumbs to search for.
- Goal : reward, foraging or “something tasty” in addition to the hay.
Tip: Want to snack naturally? Try adding dried fruit (in small portions) and dried vegetables for variety.
Who are grain-free snacks suitable for?
Grain-free snacks are suitable for all rodents and rabbits as a treat, but they are especially suitable for animals with a diet that revolves around fiber :
- Rabbits – often love fragrant, vegetable snacks as a “search moment”.
- Guinea pigs – popular in combination with herbal snacks.
- Chinchillas & degus – choose wisely and work with small portions and simple ingredients.
Do you have a pet that enjoys a variety of snacks? Then also check out sweets & cookies , seeds & kernels , and (for suitable varieties) animal proteins .
Foraging & rewarding: how to make snack time extra valuable
- Hide in hay : Sprinkle small pieces of hay into the hay for a natural search. Hay can be found near hay .
- Snack ball or puzzle : combine with interactive snacks for more challenge.
- Training moment : small pieces often work well as a reward (without feeding “full”).
Smart combinations: build a natural snack mix
Want variety without excess? This often works very well:
- Plant-based : grain-free snacks + herbal snacks
- Vegetable boost : supplement with dried vegetables
- Something different every now and then : look at special snacks for special snack moments
For all snack groups, go to Snacks .
Maintenance & hygiene
- Remove leftovers : do not leave snacks in the enclosure for long periods of time (especially not on damp surfaces).
- Store dry and closed : this way you retain the smell, structure and quality.
- Work with small portions : easier to clean and it remains fun for your pet.
- The basics are correct : for herbivores, hay remains the daily basis.
