Which animals are herbs suitable for?
- Rabbits & guinea pigs (herbivores): Herbs are often used as a supplement and forage enrichment in addition to the basic diet.
- Hamsters, mice, gerbils & rats (granivore/omnivore): herbs are mainly enrichment (sprinkle/hide) and provide variation in scent and structure.
- Chinchillas & degus: offer herbs consciously and in appropriate doses; choose a simple and concise presentation.

FAQ Rodent & Rabbit Herbs
What is the difference between flowers, leaves and herbs?
Flowers are often chosen for scent and atmosphere, leaves are ideal for scattering and hiding, and herbs/roots are usually mixes or individual additions.
Are herb pellets the same as herb mixes?
Herb pellets are especially practical and easy to measure. Herb mixes are often lighter and particularly suitable for spreading to encourage foraging.
Can I give herbs every day?
This can often be a good supplement, provided you use small doses and it's appropriate for the animal species and overall diet. Feel free to vary and gradually increase the intake.
