Herbal treats – fragrant rewards & foraging fun
A small treat can go a long way: that extra moment of connection, a fun search, or a little variety in addition to the daily menu. In this category, you'll find herbal snacks for rodents and rabbits: fragrant, plant-based snacks in which herbs often play the leading role. They're ideal as a reward and to make foraging extra interesting. Herbivores like rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus are particularly fond of them, but other rodents and rabbits can also benefit from them as a bonus within a suitable complete menu. Specialists since 2011, so you can choose with confidence and with help.
Herbal treats are often rich in plant texture and aroma. Always combine them with a good base: hay and a suitable basic feed .
Make snack time more fun: hide small pieces in hay or use puzzles. Also check out interactive snacks and play & forage .
It's best to choose small portions and vary your meals. For other snack styles, see snacks or grain-free snacks .
Choosing herbal snacks: what should you pay attention to?
The best choice depends on the animal species, purpose, and composition. These points will help you make the right choice more quickly:
- Animal species : Herbivores often love herb-rich snacks, omnivores usually prefer smaller portions and more variety.
- Goal : reward (small), foraging (hiding) or “a little treat”.
- Texture : Biscuits/blocks are different from loose herb pieces; choose what your pet likes to eat.
- Variety : snacks are a bonus; the daily basics remain the guiding principle.
Tip: Want a snack that pairs well with hay? Use small pieces of herb snack in hay as a "searching moment."
