Snuffle Mat Apple 32 cm made of Soft Fleece for Rodents & Rabbits!

Apple Sniffing Mat 32 cm – Search, Sniff & Discover

With the Apple Snuffelmat (32 cm), you can turn a regular feeding or snack round into a fun search. Hide small portions among the hiding places, encouraging your pet to sniff, puzzle, and keep busy. Ideal for adding variety to their enclosure and for pets who enjoy using their noses (and paws).

✔ Stimulates natural foraging behavior: searching, sniffing and “working” for food

✔ Easy to vary: a different layout and difficulty every time

✔ Handy for portion control: you can offer (part of) the daily food in a spread out manner

✔ Suitable for multiple animal species: from curious rats to quiet nibblers

Our tip: Start "easy" with a few hiding spots and gradually build up. This way, it stays fun and you get the most out of the snuffle mat.

Good to know: Use dry kibble or snacks; this keeps the snuffle mat fresh for longer and is easy to maintain.

Suitable for

• Rats – perfect for clever detectives: hide (some of) the daily kibble and let them actively search for it.
• Guinea pigs – great for quiet sniffing: work with small portions of suitable herbs/food snacks or chunks (see your food's specifications).
• Rabbits – ideal as enrichment: spread out a few pieces of treats or suitable rewards so they can search in a controlled manner.
• Chinchillas – encourage foraging without fuss: use small, appropriate portions from their normal food (see specifications).
• Degus – great for nose play: hide treats or suitable dry treats (see the specifications of your degu food).
• Ferrets – fun as a “snack hunting game”: hide small, dry treats and alternate the locations for an extra challenge.

Enrichment tip (how to make it extra fun)

Make it a mini-routine: start with 3-5 easy hiding spots, let your pet experience "success," and then add more challenging spots. Want even more variety? Combine sniffing with other forms of enrichment from Play & Foraging , so that searching, exploring, and playing alternate.

Note: Check the snuffle mat regularly for wear and tear and remove it if you see any damage, so your pet can continue to play safely.
