Read moreNatural pellet-free food – feed mixes without pellets or chunks
Looking for food that's visibly varied and encourages foraging? In this subcategory, you'll find natural pellet-free foods: mixes without pressed chunks/pellets, with ingredients like herbs, leaves, flowers, and other natural components (see product information). These are useful if you like to vary your diet or want to offer food as a foraging activity. Specialists since 2011, so you can choose with confidence and with help.
No pressed kibble, but mixes with natural textures and scents. Check each product to see if it's a complete food or a supplemental mix.
Pellet-free mixes can often be (partially) scattered or hidden. This makes feeding more relaxed and enjoyable, and fits in with natural foraging behavior.
For herbivores, hay is practically a staple in their diet. For many other species, hay also provides additional activity and structure to their routines.
Choosing pellet-free: what should you pay attention to?
Pellet-free primarily means: no pressed pellets as a base form . Pellet-free diets do vary by recipe. Therefore, please note:
- Animal species – always choose a mix that is intended for your animal (not every mix is suitable for every species).
- Purpose – is it a complete food or a supplemental mix? This is stated on the product label.
- Texture – coarse/fine, with herbs/leaves/flowers or other components (see product information).
Good to know: if you want a very consistent base (useful for picky eaters), an all-in-one kibble/pellet is sometimes more suitable. This subcategory is specifically intended for those who prefer visible variety .
Ingredients: What do you often find in natural mixes?
Natural pellet-free feeds are often made up of various components. The ingredients vary by recipe, but you often see combinations of:
- Herbs, leaves and flowers – for fragrance, texture and variety.
- Vegetable and plant components – as part of a varied mix (see product information).
- Seeds/grains – sometimes yes, sometimes no (check the label if you are aware of this).
Tip: combine feeding and searching moments with a calm base in the enclosure, such as a fine layer of ground cover and nesting material .
Feeding & combining: how to make it practical
How you feed pellet-free food depends on the product and your animal species. In practice, this often works well:
- Feed in measured portions and only top up when it is mostly used up (this keeps the balance clear).
- Give some in a bowl and some as search food (scatter/hide).
- Complete the routine with appropriate food and snack supplements (species-appropriate and in moderation).
Foraging: Make eating an enriching experience
Many animals prefer to have to "work" for their food. Pellet-free mixes are often ideal for this:
- Divide one portion over several places in the enclosure.
- Hide small portions in safe foraging toys or under litter.
- Combine with gnawing and hiding places for a natural route through the enclosure.
For smart search solutions, see: play & foraging and for additional activities: gnawing material .
Storage: How to keep mixes fresh and attractive
Natural mixes are best preserved when stored in a cool, dry, dark place and with the packaging tightly sealed. If you're using storage jars, use clean, dry jars and top up one bag at a time (don't mix "old and new").
Maintenance
- Daily : Remove any remains that have become moist (e.g. from water or fresh vegetables).
- Weekly : Clean feeding areas/bowls and dry them thoroughly.
- Keep open bags closed to preserve fragrance and quality.
Checklist: Pellet-free feeding properly arranged
Just run through this list:
✔ You choose a mix that suits your animal species
✔ You check per product whether it is a complete food or a supplementary mix
✔ You feed in portions (and only refill when it is mostly gone)
✔ You also turn feeding into a search moment
✔ Store the mix dry, cool, dark and well sealed
Safety
- Not every pellet-free mix is suitable for every animal species: choose species-appropriately and follow the label.
- Introduce new food gradually and observe how your pet eats it.
- Keep food dry and replace food that smells damp, is clumpy, or no longer looks fresh.
FAQ – Natural Pellet-Free Food
Is pellet-free food always “complete food”?
Not always. This category includes both complete foods and supplemental mixes. Therefore, always check the product information and label.
Can I give pellet-free mixes as search food?
Often, yes. Give some in a bowl and some as foraged food, so eating goes more smoothly. For more ideas, see Play & Foraging .
Which animals is pellet-free intended for?
This varies per recipe. Always choose a mix specifically designed for your pet and pay attention to the composition (see product information).
How do I prevent my pet from eating only the “tastiest” bits?
Work with portions and only refill when most of the food is gone. This keeps the menu balanced and prevents the same items from being left over.
What is the best combination of pellet-free food and food?
This depends on the animal species, but often combining it with hay and enrichment such as gnawing material and search activities works very practically.
