Mice hay, herbs & seeds – variety, foraging and natural enrichment
Mice are curious, active rodents that enjoy searching, nibbling, and foraging. Hay, herbs, and seeds add clever variety to their daily diet and make feeding more enjoyable. In this category, you'll find a carefully selected range of products for enrichment, variety, and natural behavior – easy to combine with your basic food and a comfortable feeding area in the enclosure.
Hay, herbs, and seeds are supplemental and enriching. Always combine with a suitable basic diet of mouse food .
Scatter, hide, and let them search. Make it extra fun with playing and foraging (perfect for clever mice).
Variety only truly works when there's enough to drink. Check out our water bottles and bowls for a practical setup.
Which hay, herbs and seeds suit your mice?
Not every mouse eats the same thing, and that's perfectly fine. That's why you'll find different types in this category for variety and enrichment:
- Hay & herb hay – for structure, scent experience and "sniffing" in the enclosure.
- Herbs & botanicals – ideal for sprinkling, mixing or as a mini-reward (small portions).
- Seeds (variety) – useful for encouraging foraging; dose carefully and monitor condition/activity.
Tip: Use mini portions and vary the food. This keeps things interesting without accidentally overfeeding.
Feeding plan at home: practical, varied and clear
With this base you can feed smart and easy:
- Use basic food as a starting point and add supplements in small amounts.
- Spread food throughout the day: mice like to be busy and enjoy eating “in between”.
- Combine seeds/herbs with foraging instead of putting everything in one container.
- Use a stable feeding area with food bowls and keep water available at all times.
Want extra variety? Also check out mouse snacks and dried fruit & vegetables (in moderation).
Smart feeding & foraging: make eating an activity
Mice love "working for their food." You can implement this very easily:
- Scattering in the ground cover (searching and sniffing).
- Hiding in tunnels/houses: tunnels and houses .
- Vary in height with platforms and ladders (look, climb, get).
Maintenance & hygiene
- Store hay and herbs dry and well sealed (prevents musty odor and loss of quality).
- Refresh leftovers regularly: mice like to drag food around and sometimes “hide” it.
- Clean feeding bowls and, where necessary, choose easily removable materials: feeding bowls .
- Check and refresh water daily: drinking bottles and water bowls .
Checklist: using hay, herbs & seeds wisely
Before you start making variations, please review this list:
✔ Basic food is in order (supplement = extra)
✔ Small portions of herbs/seeds, especially as a foraging reward
✔ Scatter or hide food for natural searching behavior
✔ Bowls and water points clean and practically placed
✔ Check condition/weight regularly (reduce feeding if rich)
Safety warnings
- Introduce new herbs/foods gradually and see how your mice react.
- Seeds and “rich” supplements: dose consciously (small portions, especially for less active mice).
- Use only products intended for animal feed (no “garden plants” or unknown origin).
- If you have any doubts about appetite, condition or stool, consult a veterinarian.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about hay, herbs & seeds for mice
Is hay necessary for mice?
Hay is especially valuable as enrichment : sniffing, dragging, and foraging. It provides structure and scent, and is fun to incorporate into the enclosure.
How often can I give herbs?
Herbs often work well in small portions , for example, as a sprinkle or forage mix. Always observe how your mice use the portion and adjust accordingly.
Can I give seeds in unlimited quantities?
Preferably not. Seeds are ideal for foraging, but can also be energy-rich. Use them as a supplement and divide them into mini-portions.
What's a fun way to do this?
Scattering and hiding works great. Combine it with playing and foraging for an extra challenge.
