Oat Harvest for Rodents & Birds

Oat Harvest for rodents and rabbits

With Oat Harvest, you give your rodent or rabbit a natural harvest to engage with independently. The oats are still attached to the plant structure, allowing your animal to sniff, search, pluck, and nibble. This makes this harvest more fun than loose seeds or flakes in a bowl.

For small rodents such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, and rats, harvested oats are particularly interesting as foraging enrichment. They can hold the harvest, remove the seeds from the hulls, and engage with it in their own way. Harvested oats are also suitable for larger rodents and rabbits as a supplementary natural variation alongside their normal basic diet.

Advantages of Haver Oogst

✔ 100% natural oat harvest
✔ Suitable for all rodents and rabbits as a supplement
✔ Provides lots of natural sniffing, plucking, and nibbling fun
✔ Ideal for making feeding more interesting and less predictable
✔ Great for use in natural landscaping and foraging corners

Why choose Haver Oogst?

Haver Oogst is a great choice when you want to offer your animal not only a tasty treat but also something to do. Because the oats are still attached to the stalk, your animal has to explore where the interesting parts are located. This stimulates natural foraging behavior and makes feeding more varied.

For hamsterscaping and gerbilscaping , you can beautifully incorporate the oat harvest into a small field, harvest corner, or natural border planting. The stalks provide height and structure, while the oats themselves invite searching, picking, and gathering.

For larger rodents and rabbits, use harvested oats primarily as supplementary variety. The basis always remains an appropriate main food, with sufficient hay as the most important part of the daily ration for guinea pigs and rabbits.

For which animals is Haver Oogst suitable?

Haver Oogst is suitable for all rodents and rabbits as a natural supplement and enrichment. However, adjust the amount to the animal, its size, and its normal diet.

• Carefully push the stems into a firm layer of ground cover.
• Use the oat harvest at the back or in the middle of the enclosure for extra depth.
• Form small groups for a natural field or harvest corner.
• Place a suitable loose piece down for animals that like to hold or move it.
• Combine with cork, wood, moss, sand, and other natural harvested materials.
• If necessary, use a snack clip with wire cages.
• For glass, if necessary, use a suction cup with a clamp .
• Remove parts that become wet, dirty, or less fresh.

Use per animal species

Mouse

Mice love searching, gathering, and small foraging spots. Offer Oat Harvest in small pieces or place a few stalks along a route so they can pick and investigate themselves.

Dwarf hamster

Dwarf hamsters often find harvesting materials very interesting. For example, place the oats near a sand bath area, at the back of the enclosure, or along a natural runway. This way, your dwarf hamster can search for and harvest on its own.

Hamster

Golden hamsters can actively investigate, push over, or take Oat Harvest to a stash. Use the stems as natural border planting or a foraging area in a spacious scape.

Gerbil

Gerbils enjoy digging and renovating. Therefore, place the oat harvest a little deeper in the bedding or use it as temporary enrichment. If the harvest is dug up or gnawed to pieces, this is part of their natural behavior.

Dwarf rat and rat

Dwarf rats and rats use their paws skillfully and can hold, pluck, and move the oat harvest. It is better to offer a suitable piece than too much at once, so that it remains an active enrichment moment.

Guinea pig

For guinea pigs, you can use Haver Oogst as a small, natural variation. The basis always remains hay, supplemented with suitable guinea pig food and species-appropriate herbs.

Rabbit

Rabbits may investigate and nibble on Oat Harvest as a small supplement. Give it in moderation and always offer it alongside sufficient hay and appropriate rabbit food.

Chinchilla and degu

For chinchillas and degus, it is best to offer Haver Oogst in limited quantities as natural enrichment. Keep the amount small and use it primarily as variety, not as the main daily component.
