Read moreDried guinea pig leaves – crunchy variety for foraging, nibbling and enrichment

Note: Leaves are always a supplement . The basis remains unlimited guinea pig hay , supplemented with appropriate guinea pig food and always fresh drinking water. At DRD Rodent Shop®, we select leaves that are pleasant to use, suitable for stimulating foraging , and compatible with responsible feeding. Specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011 .

Why give dried leaves to guinea pigs?
Dried leaves for guinea pigs are ideal if you want to add more variety without adding "extra heavy" treats. Leaves are light, fragrant, and perfect for encouraging natural behavior: guinea pigs enjoy sniffing, selecting, and nibbling. By providing leaves intelligently (small portions spread throughout the day), you make feeding more enjoyable and support foraging.
- Encourage foraging – scatter, hide and let search.
- Texture & variety – crunchy, light and fragrant.
- Easy to combine – with hay, herbs or enrichment.
Tip: Combine browsing with playing and foraging for a “search moment” that’s also easy indoors.
Which dried guinea pig leaves are right for your guinea pig?
Not every leaf is the same. In practice, you see roughly three "pathways" that guinea pigs often respond to:
- Herb leaves – often aromatic and ideal for variety (think “meadow”-style leaves).
- Fruit leaves – mild in scent and a nice alternative to hay.
- Tree/shrub leaves – often provide a different structure and nibbling experience.
It's best to start with one variety or a mild selection and then gradually increase the flavor. Want to add more fragrance and color? Then combine it with dried guinea pig flowers or dried guinea pig herbs .
How do you give dried leaves responsibly?
Always offer leaves sparingly as a supplement . Introduce new varieties gradually and observe how your guinea pig reacts. Practical tips:
- Through the hay – sprinkle a small “pinch” among the guinea pig hay to encourage searching.
- In enrichment – hide leaves in a sniffing/foraging spot through play & foraging .
- As a topping – a small amount over the feeding area (not a “full bowl”, better to top up when finished).
Want to combine leaves with a real treat? Then choose fiber-rich options and keep them small. You'll find suitable additions to guinea pig snacks .
Hygiene & storage
✔ Store dried leaves in a cool, dry place and sealed (this will keep the aroma fresh for longer).
✔ Remove any leftovers from the enclosure if they become damp or disappear under the substrate.
✔ It is better to sprinkle small portions and refill when it runs out (prevents contamination and waste).
✔ Combine with a clean feeding area and a suitable cleaning and hygiene range .
Checklist
✔ Hay is and remains the basis: guinea pig hay .
✔ Leaves are a supplement: start small and build up gradually.
✔ Choose a “route” that suits you: herb leaves, fruit leaves, or tree/shrub leaves.
✔ Make feeding fun: combine with playing and foraging .
✔ Basics in order with suitable guinea pig food .
Safety
Only provide leaves intended for pet food and introduce new varieties gradually. Always check for freshness (no musty smell, no visible contamination) and preferably feed in small portions. If appetite or bowel movements suddenly change, or your guinea pig doesn't seem well, consult a veterinarian.
FAQ
Are dried leaves suitable for everyday use?
This often works well as a supplement in small portions. Keep it light and varied: hay is always the foundation. Start with a small amount and see how your guinea pig reacts.
What is the difference between leaves, herbs and flowers?
Leaves are often crunchy and light to use. Herbs tend to have a stronger aroma, while flowers add extra scent and color. Mix it up for variety, but keep portions small.
How do I provide dried leaves as a foraging activity?
Sprinkle a small amount into the hay or hide it in enrichment. See the guinea pig play & foraging section for items that make "searching" easier.
Where can I find all the guinea pig herbs (including flowers, roots and stems)?
Go to Guinea Pig Herbs and choose the subcategory that suits your goal (variety, structure or enrichment).
