Zolux Neolife Treat Hiding Cup – 8 Snack Hiding Cups for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs

Zolux Neolife Treat Hiding Cups – 8 Hiding Cups for Guinea Pig, Rabbit, Chinchilla and Degu

The Zolux Neolife Treat Hiding Cups are incredibly fun hiding cups for guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus. You place treats, herbs, or kibble in or between the cups and then assemble them. Then the game begins: your pet must lift, knock over, or pry loose cup by cup to get to the reward.

At DRD, we think this is truly one of those enrichment items that you love to play with your pet. Many animals visibly enjoy this. They smell that something tasty is hidden, start searching, pushing, pulling, or tossing the cups, and often keep trying very enthusiastically until they find the reward. That makes this game not only useful enrichment but also simply very fun to watch.

Why are these cups so nice?

Guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus are curious animals. They use their noses, snouts, and sometimes their paws to investigate where a treat is hidden. With the Treat Hiding Cups, you turn an ordinary snack time into a little search-and-find game. You hide a treat between the cups, stack them, and then let your pet figure out how to get to the reward on its own.

This makes snack time much more interesting than when you offer a snack immediately. One guinea pig gently pushes the cups loose, a rabbit knocks them over, and chinchillas or degus can keep trying very purposefully until they figure out how it works. It is precisely this active behavior that makes these cups so valuable for daily enrichment.

And honestly: it is also just very funny to watch. After playing a few times, many animals remember exactly that there might be something tasty hidden between the cups. Even when the cups are empty, some animals may keep trying for a little while longer, as if there might still be a forgotten crumb hidden there. That beautifully illustrates how appealing this type of foraging game can be.

For which animals are the Treat Hiding Cups suitable?

• Guinea pig: very suitable as a foraging game with small snacks, herbs, pellets, or pieces of vegetables. Guinea pigs can push against the cups with their noses and often quickly learn that there is something tasty hidden between the cups.
• Rabbit: very suitable as a treat game in a run, rabbit room, or safe play area. Rabbits can push the cups away, knock them over, and actively search for the hidden reward.
• Chinchilla: suitable as a short foraging game with appropriate chinchilla herbs, leaves, or a small portion of the daily diet. Preferably avoid sweet snacks; keep the game primarily focused on searching and exploring.
• Degu: suitable as an enrichment game with degu-appropriate herbs, leaves, pellets, or other responsible small rewards. Degus are active and inquisitive, making this type of search game well-suited to their curious behavior.

For smaller animals such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, these cups are usually less logical due to their size. For rats, the game might be interesting if the size and play style suit your animals well, but we primarily recommend these cups for guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus.

How do you use the Zolux Treat Hiding Cups?

Ideally, use the cups as a playtime with your pet. Place a small amount of treats, herbs, kibble, or suitable snacks in or between the cups, and then stack the cups. Your pet must then lift, knock over, or pry loose cup by cup to get to the treats.

Start simple. First, use a few cups and place a small reward between the layers. As soon as your pet realizes that there is something tasty hidden between the cups, you can use more cups or distribute the reward in different places between the cups. This way, the game becomes slightly more challenging without becoming confusing.

Use small amounts of treats. It is not about feeding a lot, but about searching, smelling, trying, and discovering. Consider a few suitable herbs, a small piece of vegetable for a guinea pig or rabbit, a pellet from their daily diet, or another small reward that suits your animal.

Are the cups empty? Then clean them and put them away for the next playtime. This keeps them interesting and prevents your pet from searching for a long time when there is nothing left to find.

Fun playtime moments with the cups

The Treat Hiding Cups are ideal for short play sessions. Place them out when you are sitting with your animals for a moment, during daily care, or as a change of pace in the run. With guinea pigs, it is often great fun to watch them search around the cups together. With rabbits, you often see them push the cups away with their noses or throw them very purposefully.

For chinchillas and degus, you can use the cups as a short thinking and searching activity. For example, hide a small amount of suitable herbs or a portion of their daily kibble between the cups. This way, you turn a normal feeding time into an active search moment.

Do you want to make the game easier? Then use something with a recognizable scent that your pet knows well and start with fewer cups. Do you want to make it harder? Then use more cups and hide the reward in different places between the layers. This way, you can adjust the challenge to your pet and keep the game interesting.

Material and specifications

• Product: Zolux Neolife Treat Hiding Cups.
• Contents: 8 hiding cups.
• Dimensions per cup: approx. Ø 7.8 x 9.5 cm.

The cups are compact enough to be easily used in an enclosure, run, or safe outdoor area. The set of 8 allows you to create different setups: a short stack with an easy reward, multiple layers with small rewards in between, or a slightly more challenging game where your animal has to work cup by cup.

Cleaning and storage

Clean the cups after use if snack residue, vegetable juices, or spice residue remains. Simply wiping them down or cleaning them with warm water is usually sufficient. Allow the cups to dry thoroughly before storing or reusing them.

Store the cups dry and clean so you can easily grab them again for the next playing session. Since there are 8 separate cups, you can also use some and save the rest for later or for a different setup.

Good to know

Preferably use the cups as a guided enrichment activity. Set them out with a treat, let your animal search, and put the cups away as soon as they are empty. Some animals may keep trying because they expect there is still something inside the cups. If nothing can be found for an extended period, particularly enthusiastic searchers may start gnawing on the cups.

By cleaning and storing the cups after play, they remain more appealing for next time. Your pet then learns: when the cups appear, a game begins. This makes playtime clear, attractive, and extra fun.

Always use snacks and herbs that suit your animal. For guinea pigs and rabbits, for example, you could consider herbs, a small piece of vegetable, or a pellet from their daily diet. For chinchillas and degus, it is better to choose suitable herbs, leaves, or a small portion of their daily diet, rather than sweet treats.
