Read moreDried flowers – fragrant variety, foraging fun & natural decoration
Dried flowers are a lovely, natural addition to both a pet's daily diet and their habitat. They add fragrance and color, encourage browsing and foraging, and are ideal as a topping for hay or for foraging areas. In this category, you'll find edible flowers (such as chamomile, rose, marigold/calendula, and hibiscus), selected for use with rodents and rabbits. Below, you'll find selection guides for each species and practical tips for feeding, storing, and using in the habitat. Specialists since 2011, so you can choose with confidence.
Flowers add a natural twist to the diet: scent, color, and increased interest in the hay patch. For herbivores, always combine them with a good base: hay .
Scatter flowers through hay, hide small bunches, or use them in a "search area." For more ideas, see Play & Forage .
Dried flowers are also often used as natural decorations in (hamster)scapes and rodent enclosures. Combine them with natural substrates via Ground Covering & Nesting Material .
What exactly are dried flowers?
Dried flowers are edible flowers (or flower parts) that have been carefully dried for long-lasting storage and easy portioning. They can be used to supplement a pet's diet or to enrich their habitat. They fall under our herb category: Rodent & Rabbit Herbs .
Would you prefer a ready-made blend with flowers and other plant parts? Then also check out: herb mixes .
Which animals are dried flowers suitable for?
Dried flowers can be a nice addition for many species, but the "role" varies per animal:
- Herbivores (rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus): often pleasant as a variation in hay or in foraging areas.
- Omnivores (hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats): usually as a small supplement/enrichment, not as a base.
Want to add leaf texture in addition to flowers? Combine these with dried leaves or, for coarser "gnawing/searching material," with branches and stems .
How do you use dried flowers?
Practical methods that almost always work well:
- As a topping – sprinkle a small amount over hay or feed.
- As foraging material – hide small tufts in several places throughout the enclosure.
- Mixing moment – combine flowers with leaves/herbs for more structure (see also herbs & roots ).
Tip: Start with small amounts and see what your pet does. Some like to forage for it, while others mainly eat their favorite flower petals.
Foraging & hay topping: how to make the hay patch more interesting
Many herbivores find it very effective to mix flowers into the hay patch: it encourages them to search and spend more time exploring. Use good hay as a base and create "search areas" using ideas from Play & Forage .
- Scatter lines : small strips of flowers scattered through the hay (not all in one pile).
- Hiding places : a few flower petals under a tuft of hay or in a food item.
- Variety : alternate flowers with leaves for more “texture”: dried leaves .
Decoration in the living room: natural effect without fuss
Dried flowers are also often used to give a habitat a natural look. Consider a subtle "flower strip" on top of the ground cover, or as an accent in a digging area. Combine this with natural substrates through Ground Covering & Nesting Material .
- Apply slowly : it's better to use several small areas than one large pile (this also stays neater).
- Make it functional : hide a few pieces in between so your pet has to do some “searching”.
- Combine cleverly : flower + leaf + a bit of stem for variation in structure: branches & stems .
Selection guide: which flowers suit your purpose?
Choose primarily based on structure and time of use:
- For hay topping : fine petals/small flowers (easy to distribute).
- For foraging : somewhat coarser flower parts (remain “findable” longer).
- For decoration : flowers with a clear colour/structure that you can sprinkle thinly.
Want a complete mix instead of individual flowers? Then herb mixes are often the most practical. Prefer something compact and easy to measure? Then also check out herb pellets .
Storage & freshness: how to keep flowers beautiful in scent and texture
Always store dried flowers in a dry, dark, and tightly sealed place . This way, the color, fragrance, and texture will last longer. Use a dry spoon or scoop and close the packaging immediately after use.
Maintenance & hygiene
- Work dry : pick up flowers with dry hands/spoon (moisture shortens their shelf life).
- Remove debris : It is best to remove flowers that have been lying in a damp corner for a long time.
- Keeping the hay area fresh : Topping works best if you clean out the hay area regularly (see Hay & Hay Racks ).
- Store closed : dry, dark and away from heat sources.
Checklist: using dried flowers wisely
Before you start, please review this list:
✔ I choose flowers as a supplement/enrichment (not as a basis)
✔ I adjust the amount to my animal species (herbivore vs. omnivore)
✔ For herbivores, the basics are taken care of: hay
✔ I use flowers for “search moments” (tips via Play & Foraging )
✔ I store flowers dry, dark and closed
✔ I remove old leftovers and keep the hay area fresh
Safety warnings
- Only use flowers intended for rodents/rabbits (do not use flowers from a florist/garden where pesticides may have been used).
- Introduce new flowers gradually and start with small amounts, especially for sensitive eaters.
- Store flowers dry ; do not use a product that smells musty or feels damp.
- Flowers are a supplement . The basis remains appropriate food and (for herbivores) plenty of hay (see Nutrition ).
- Do you suddenly notice a decrease in appetite, unusual stools, or noticeable lethargy? If in doubt, consult a veterinarian.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Dried Flowers
How often can I give dried flowers?
Use flowers primarily as a supplement: a small amount mixed with hay, as a topping, or in foraging areas. The appropriate frequency depends on the animal species and the total diet.
Can I mix flowers with hay?
Yes, that's one of the best uses. Use good hay as a base: hay .
Are dried flowers also suitable for hamsters and mice?
Often as enrichment, but usually in smaller quantities than for herbivores. Ideally, choose toppings/searching times and keep the basic diet leading.
What is the difference between flowers, leaves, and herb mixes?
Flowers primarily provide fragrance and color and are a great topping. Leaves provide more texture (see dried leaves ). Herb mixes are designed for variety and convenience (see herb mixes ).
Where can I find all the herb categories together?
