Rodent Grass / Cat Grass 100 grams for Rodents and Rabbits

Trixie Rodent Grass 100 grams for Rodents and Rabbits

Trixie Rodent Grass, also known as cat grass, is a fun growing kit that allows you to grow fresh grass yourself for your rodents and rabbits. You water the seeds, place the container in a light and warm spot, and after a few days a fresh green lawn emerges for animals to nibble on, sniff, or walk through.

For small rodents, rodent grass is primarily a fun form of enrichment. Mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils often find it interesting to search and explore among the blades. For guinea pigs and rabbits, the grass can be a tasty, fresh change alongside their daily basic diet.

Why choose rodent grass?

Rodent grass is a simple way to add some fresh greenery and extra sensory stimulation to the enclosure. Animals often react curiously to the scent, texture, and movement of the blades of grass. They can nibble on it, sniff around in it, or use the grass as a small place to explore.

For small rodents, it is particularly interesting as enrichment. It is not just about eating, but also about searching, smelling, digging, and exploring. That is precisely what makes a small container of grass fun in a hamsterscape, gerbilscape, or naturally decorated enclosure.

For guinea pigs and rabbits, fresh grass can be a tasty change. However, always offer it as part of your pet's normal diet and introduce fresh products gradually if your pet is not yet used to it.

For which animals is rodent grass suitable?

• Mouse: nice as a sniffing and discovery spot. Mice can walk through the grass, nibble on it, and search inside.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as enrichment and as a natural accent in a hamsterscape. Preferably grow the grass outside the enclosure first.
• Hamster: suitable as a fresh change of pace and a landscaping element. Make sure your hamster does not dig up the seeds immediately if the grass has not yet sprouted.
• Gerbil: suitable as enrichment, especially when the grass has already grown well. Gerbils can dig actively, so it is better to use a sturdy, chew-proof container.
• Rat: can be offered as a sniffing and foraging project. Use a sturdy container and supervise, especially when they like to dig.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a fresh variation. Guinea pigs can enjoy nibbling on it, alongside their daily hay and appropriate food.
• Rabbit: suitable as a fresh variety. Introduce fresh greens gradually if your rabbit is not used to them.
• Degu: only offer appropriately within a frugal and fiber-focused diet. Give small amounts and observe closely how your animal reacts.

How do you grow Trixie Rodent Grass?

• Water the seeds according to the instructions.
• Place the container in a light, warm place.
• Keep the substrate slightly moist, but do not make it soaking wet.
• Water approximately every 3 to 5 days, depending on heat and dryness.
• Let the grass grow well before offering it to your animal.
• Before use, check that the grass smells fresh and looks neat.

We recommend growing the rodent grass outside the enclosure. Small rodents, in particular, may dig up the seeds in the beginning. Once the grass has firmly established itself, it stays in place better and you can offer it more specifically.

Use in the accommodation

You can place the grown grass short in the enclosure as enrichment. Observe closely how your animal interacts with it. Some animals nibble calmly on the blades, while others mainly want to dig, pull, or knock over the container.

The included tray is made of plastic. If you want to place the grass in the enclosure for animals that like to gnaw, it is preferable to replace the plastic tray with a glass, ceramic, or other chew-resistant tray. This will prevent your animal from gnawing on the plastic.

You can also divide the seeds among several small containers. This is handy when you have multiple enclosures or when you want to offer smaller portions at a time.

Use for hamsterscaping and gerbilscaping

Rodent grass fits beautifully into a natural setting. In a hamsterscape or gerbilscape, you can use it as a temporary green accent, for example alongside cork, moss, sand, tunnels, and a sturdy digging layer. It immediately provides a fresh look, and animals often find it interesting to search among the blades.

Place the grass carefully. Do not put it in a spot where it gets wet quickly, falls over, or makes the bedding too damp. Use it preferably as temporary enrichment rather than as a permanent feature that remains unattended in the enclosure for days.

Gradually introduce fresh grass

Not every animal is used to fresh greens. Therefore, start with a small amount and see how your animal reacts. For guinea pigs and rabbits, fresh greens are often familiar territory, but even there, it is wise to build up gradually if an animal is mainly used to dry food.

For hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, and gerbils, it is mainly about a small snack and the surrounding enrichment. Do not let them eat large quantities without limit if they are not used to it.

Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the grass when it becomes limp, dirty, moldy, or too wet. A fresh growing tray should smell clean and have firm green blades. If the tray is too wet, it can become less fresh more quickly.

If you use a glass or ceramic container, clean it thoroughly after use and let it dry before offering seeds or grass again.

Compound

Composition: seeds for growing cat grass/rodent grass.

The product is supplied in a plastic growing tray. If you want to place the grass in the enclosure, for animals prone to gnawing, it is preferable to choose a glass, ceramic, or other chew-resistant tray.

Good to know

Preferably grow the grass outside the enclosure first, so that the blades are sturdy enough before your animal starts nibbling on them.

Remove the grass when it is dirty, wet, or no longer fresh.
