Dried guinea pig flowers – fragrant variety for hay, foraging and enrichment
Guinea pigs are real nibblers who love to search, smell, and pick . Dried guinea pig flowers make their daily menu a little more fun: sprinkle a little on the hay, mix it into a herb mix, or hide it in enrichment. Flowers are always a good addition – the basis remains plenty of guinea pig hay , supplemented with appropriate guinea pig food and always clean drinking water.
In this category, you'll find both individual flowers (handy as a topping) and flower mixes with varying scents, colors, and textures. Specializing in rodents and rabbits since 2011 .

Why give guinea pigs flowers?
Dried flowers are an easy way to add variety without changing the main food. Many guinea pigs find flowers appealing because of their scent and light, crunchy texture. They are therefore ideal:
- • as a topping on hay (more interest in hay),
• as a mix with herbs or leaves,
• or as a hiding ingredient in enrichment.
Which dried flowers suit your guinea pig?
Choose based on behavior and preference. Some guinea pigs prefer delicate petals, while others prefer coarser mixes. Start simply with one type or a mild mix, and you'll quickly see what they like best.
- Loose flowers – convenient portioning, perfect as a small daily variation.
- Flower mixes – more fragrance and texture variation in one scoop.
- Flowers + “meadow/hay bale” – extra fun for guinea pigs that like to keep busy.
How do you give dried flowers responsibly?
Provide flowers sparingly as a supplement . Always introduce new varieties gradually (especially for sensitive eaters) and keep things manageable.
- On the hay – sprinkle a small pinch, and only refill when it is gone.
- In a mix – combine with dried guinea pig herbs or dried guinea pig leaves .
- In enrichment – hide a little in a sniffing spot or combine with herbal toys .
Hygiene & storage
✔ Store flowers in a cool, dry place and tightly sealed (this will keep the aroma pleasant for longer).
✔ Remove any leftovers from the enclosure to prevent contamination.
✔ It is better to sprinkle small portions and refill when it runs out.
Checklist

Safety
Only provide flowers intended for pet food and introduce new products gradually. Always check for freshness (no musty odor or visible contamination). If you have any doubts about appetite, feces, or behavior, consult a veterinarian (or rodent specialist).
