Rozenbloemblaadjes is a popular herb among rabbits and guinea pigs, with a light, airy texture and fragrant petals. You can give it in two ways: mixed through the hay, so the hay becomes more appealing and your pet actively forages through it, or simply offered loose as a quick extra. Both ways are fine — it mostly depends on what you and your pet enjoy most.
Zooply Rozenbloemblaadjes consists of 100% dried, carefully packed in a resealable ziplock pack so smell and freshness are well preserved, even after opening it several times. Because it's a single herb, rozenbloemblaadjes is also a nice way to discover which herb your pet likes best, before you move on to a bigger mix.
Rabbits and guinea pigs can have rozenbloemblaadjes daily as an addition alongside hay and staple food. Mix a small handful through the hay so your pet has to search, or give it loose as a quick treat — both are a good way to add variety.
For these species, rozenbloemblaadjes is mainly enrichment, not daily nutrition. Sprinkle a small amount in the enclosure or hide it in a sniffing spot, so your pet can exercise its natural searching behaviour.
Rozenbloemblaadjes can also be given to degus and chinchillas as a small addition, loose or mixed through the hay. Keep the amount small and let hay remain the main part of the diet.
How much may I give?
One handful a day is more than enough for rabbits and guinea pigs as an addition, counted across all your herbs combined. If you notice your pet eating less hay or staple food, you're probably giving too much.
Mixing through hay or giving it loose, which is better?
Both work — mixing through hay makes the hay itself more appealing and stimulates searching behaviour, giving it loose is a quick extra. Many customers simply alternate.
How is rozenbloemblaadjes packaged?
Rozenbloemblaadjes comes in a resealable ziplock pack, so you can easily open and close it more often without the contents losing their freshness.
Why choose dried instead of fresh?
Dried rozenbloemblaadjes is more concentrated, keeps longer and is easier to dose than freshly picked herb, and your pet doesn't have to get used to large amounts of fresh greens all at once.
How can I offer this in a fun way?
Besides mixing it through hay, you can also hide rozenbloemblaadjes in a snuffle mat or other treat/enrichment game, so your pet has to actively search for it.
Zooply stands for quality. We specialise in herbs and treats — precisely the areas where things most often go wrong for many pets. That's why our range is deliberately small per product group: we only offer the best option, nothing less. And we use it ourselves, every day, with our own animals.
