Herbs & seeds
Everything you need to know about herbs & seeds for rodents and rabbits
Herbs and seeds bring natural variety to the diet of rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rats, degus and chinchillas. They are ideal as a supplement to the daily main feed and can encourage natural foraging and feeding behaviour. At the Zoo Roco Pet Shop, you will find a selection of herbs & seeds for rodents and rabbits that can be easily incorporated into a species-appropriate diet.
Natural herbs as a dietary supplement
Dried herbs, leaves and flowers are particularly popular with many small animals. They can be used to enhance their daily hay, offered as a small treat or hidden in their enclosure to keep them occupied. Different herb mixtures are suitable depending on the species, which is why the composition should always be tailored to the needs of the respective animals.
Herbs for rabbits and guinea pigs
Rabbits and guinea pigs benefit from herbs, leaves and flowers rich in raw fibre as a supplement to hay, fresh food and water. They add variety to the food bowl or enclosure and support a diet close to nature. A balanced portion size is particularly important to ensure that herbs usefully supplement the daily basic diet rather than replacing it.
Herbs for degus and chinchillas
Degus and chinchillas require a carefully selected, low-sugar diet. Dried herbs, leaves and flowers are well suited to their natural feeding habits and can add variety to their diet. Sweet or high-energy supplements should only be offered to these species in very limited quantities.
Seeds for small rodents such as hamsters, dwarf hamsters, coloured rats and similar.
Seeds are energy-rich supplements and are particularly popular with hamsters, mice and rats. They can be mixed into their food in small quantities or hidden in their enclosure to keep them occupied. This encourages foraging and allows the animals to express their natural gathering and foraging behaviour.
Measure out seeds carefully
As many seeds have a higher fat and energy content, they should be used sparingly and with care. An appropriate amount is particularly important for small rodents to ensure their daily diet remains balanced. High-quality seeds are a lovely addition, but should not replace their main food.
Variety and enrichment in the small animal enclosure
Herbs & seeds for rodents and rabbits are not only suitable as a dietary supplement, but also for meaningful enrichment. Scatter small amounts into the hay, hide them in food toys or scatter them around the enclosure. This encourages natural foraging behaviour and ensures more activity in your pets’ daily lives.
