Dried Pear Leaves

Rodent Grocer Dried Pear Leaves

Dried pear leaves make a delicious, crunchy leaf topping to make hay, a feeding area, or a foraging area just a little more interesting. You can scatter them loosely throughout the enclosure, mix a small amount into hay, or hide them in a toy for your pet to sniff and search. They're also great as a "leaf texture" in hamster and gerbil scaping.

✔ Crispy leaf texture for browsing and foraging
✔ Handy as a topping for hay or in enrichment
✔ Natural variety in the daily menu

Why dried pear leaves?

Many animals get extra excited about having something to do with their food. Leaves provide texture and scent, making it easy to create a foraging opportunity without changing the basic diet. For example, sprinkle a small amount through the hay or place a few leaves in a fixed spot in the enclosure so your animal can choose, sniff, and search.

How to use pear leaves

• As a topping: sprinkle a small amount over hay or in a manger/hay bag.
• For foraging: hide among bedding or in a foraging toy.
• As a “leaf zone” in hamster scaping/gerbil scaping: a few leaves as natural decoration.
• Alternating often works best: combine with other leaves or herbs.

Good to know

• Use leaves as a supplement and variation, not as a replacement for hay or staple food.
• Start with a small amount, especially for animals that are not yet familiar with this.
• Store in a dry, dark place; moisture can reduce quality.

Save

Store dried leaves in a dark, dry, and well-ventilated place. Moisture is detrimental to their quality and can cause mold growth.
