The Knaagdier Kruidenier Foraging Menu Guinea Pig is a fragrant supplementary foraging mix for guinea pigs. The mix consists of herbs, flowers, apple pieces, and chewable birch twigs. You sprinkle it through the hay, distribute it over a sniffing area, or hide small portions in the enclosure so that your guinea pig can actively search, sniff, and nibble quietly.
At DRD, when it comes to guinea pig food and enrichment, we focus primarily on what it adds to daily care. This Foraging Menu makes the hay corner more interesting, provides more texture and scent, and helps your guinea pig spend more time searching for food in a natural way.

De Knaagdier Kruidenier® is the premium private label of DRD Knaagdierwinkel®, featuring natural herbs, flowers, leaves, and mixes carefully selected for rodents and rabbits. The emphasis is on natural variety, hay enrichment, foraging, and edible enrichment: DRD chooses what truly feels right for animal and owner.
Guinea pigs do not naturally eat everything from a bowl at once. They spend a large part of the day searching, nibbling, and eating small amounts. This Foraging Menu helps to give that behavior more space in their enclosure.
By scattering the mix through the hay or hiding it in small portions, your guinea pig will have to actively sniff and search. The birch twigs provide extra texture to nibble on, while herbs and flowers ensure scent and variety. The apple pieces make the menu extra appealing as a small natural treat.
Many guinea pigs eat better and more actively when the hay corner remains interesting. With this Foraging Menu, you instantly turn an ordinary handful of hay into a little foraging moment. This is great for guinea pigs that finish eating quickly, but also for owners who want to offer more enrichment without making the enclosure complicated.
You do not use the mix as a replacement for hay or basic food, but as a tasty and practical enrichment. By dividing small amounts, your guinea pig has more to do and the mix remains interesting for longer.
Offer the Foraging Menu as a supplement. Sprinkle a small amount through the hay, distribute it over several spots in the enclosure, or use it in a snuffle mat, treat board, or foraging toy. Start with small portions so you can clearly see how your animal reacts and what he prefers to use.
| Usage | Practical application |
| Through the hay | Sprinkle a small amount between a handful of hay so that your guinea pig actively searches for it. |
| In a snuffle mat | Distribute small amounts over the mat for a quiet sniffing moment. |
| In a foraging bin | Mix with hay, leaves, or other suitable fiber-rich materials for extra searching. |
| In small corners | Hide small portions in multiple places so that your guinea pig searches through the enclosure. |
The Knaagdier Kruidenier Foraging Menu Guinea Pig contains approximately 400 grams. Because guinea pigs are social animals and should be kept with other guinea pigs, we calculate this based on 2 guinea pigs. How long it lasts depends on how much you use per day and whether you offer the mix primarily as a light hay topping or as a more generous foraging opportunity.
| Use for 2 guinea pigs | Total amount per day | Use per package |
|---|---|---|
| Light hay topping | 2 grams per day | about 200 days |
| Average use | 4 grams per day | about 100 days |
| Wider foraging time | 10 grams per day | about 40 days |
Are you using this mix for one animal or as a small sniffing portion for small rodents? Then the package will last longer. At 1 gram per day, that is approximately 400 days, at 2 grams per day approximately 200 days, and at 5 grams per day approximately 80 days.
This is a practical guideline. Use this mix as a supplement alongside hay, appropriate basic feed, vegetables, and other natural variety.
For guinea pigs, hay is the daily staple. This Foraging Menu is therefore particularly nice to distribute throughout the hay. This adds more scent, texture, and variety to the hay corner, allowing your guinea pig to spend more time searching and nibbling.
The combination of herbs, flowers, apple, and birch twigs makes the mix appealing without the need to build complex enrichment. A small amount mixed into the hay is often enough to make the routine more interesting.
This Foraging Menu can also be used for rabbits as enrichment alongside hay and their daily basic diet. Scatter a small amount in a hay feeder, hay rack, or sniffing area so that your rabbit has to search for the fragrant pieces.
For rabbits, dividing the food is often better than giving it in one pile. This keeps it interesting for longer and stimulates your rabbit to search and nibble calmly.
For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, dwarf rats, and rats, use this mix primarily in small quantities as a sniffing and foraging supplement. Sprinkle a little through a foraging corner, in hay, or in a natural setup.
For rats, you can also use the mix in a Ratscaping corner, for example together with bedding, tunnels, leaves, and other natural materials. For small animals such as dwarf hamsters and gerbils, a small sniffing portion is sufficient.
Mint and yarrow, lemon balm and lavender, linden and fennel stalk, alfalfa and clover, apple, birch branches.
This composition offers various scents and textures: soft herbs and flowers to sniff, apple pieces as a crunchy natural treat, and birch branches to nibble on quietly. As a result, the mix is not only tasty but also suitable for letting your animal actively search.
Use the Foraging Menu as extra enrichment and build up gradually if your animal is not yet used to new herb mixes. Small portions often work best, because your animal really has to search and the mix remains interesting for longer.
