Enrichment and Forage Ideas

Are you tired of seeing your furry friends munch on the same old boring food every day? Well, it's time to spice things up and treat your rabbits and guinea pigs to some exciting enrichment food! We've got some paw-some ideas that will make their taste buds hop with joy!

1. Leafy Green Delight

Who said rabbits and guinea pigs can't enjoy a fancy salad? Create a leafy green masterpiece by combining fresh kale, spinach, and dandelion greens. Top it off with some grated carrots for an extra crunch. Your little herbivores will be begging for seconds!

2. Fruity Fiesta

Give your furry pals a fruity surprise with a colorful fruit salad. Chop up some strawberries, blueberries, and slices of juicy watermelon. Just make sure to remove any seeds or pits that could cause harm. It's a fruity fiesta that will have them squealing with delight!

3. Herb Heaven

Turn your pet's enclosure into a herb paradise. Plant some fresh parsley, cilantro, and mint. Not only will it add a touch of greenery to their home, but they can also nibble on these aromatic herbs whenever they please. It's like having their own little herb garden!

5. Hay Stuffed Toys

Let's not forget about the importance of hay in your pet's diet. Stuff some hay into a toilet paper roll or a small cardboard box. Your furry friends will have a blast digging and foraging for their favorite treat. It's a hay-filled adventure they won't be able to resist!

 

Don't feel Confident making your own? Don't worry we can do it for you. We have a host of forage box options available in 1 kilo and 2 kilo boxes. Using your favourite hay choice we then add the toppings for you. Either feed directly from the box or make some homemade enrichment toys. We find the Little Hay Co Guinea Pigs, Chocolate and Gingernut like to root and search for their favourite treats. We make things interesting by hiding hay and treats in toilet rolls, egg boxes and even shoe boxes.
