Protein Foraging Mix 400 grams

Protein Foraging Mix for Rodents!

For omnivorous (protein-eating) rodents such as Mice, Dwarf Hamsters, Hamsters, Gerbils and Rats, this Protein Mix is not only tasty, but also very fun! The idea is to spread the Mix over the normal ground cover to create a foraging layer, where the animals will then search around for tasty proteins.

✔ Promotes natural foraging behavior
✔ Provides challenge and nibbling fun
✔ Supports the daily protein requirement

The Protein Foraging Mix is a very rich mixture of Alfalfa, green oats, dandelion leaves, mealworms, daisies, dandelion blossoms, cornflower blossoms, grasshoppers, hemp. All these components contribute to a healthy diet. The green parts and herbs provide fiber that is also necessary to keep the intestines healthy, the flowers are liked to eat as a cherry on the cake and the proteins are essential for a complete diet of omnivorous rodents.

The Mix is enriched with dried grasshoppers, but not too much. The balance is carefully monitored so that the animals do not overeat. You can also further enrich the mix yourself with, for example, dried mealworms or silkworms, but also with dried vegetables or fruit.

Why are foraging toys good for rodents?

❤ Encourage natural behavior: mimics the natural behavior of rodents, namely looking for food in their environment. Challenging them to search and dig for their food stimulates their natural instincts and keeps them active and happy.

❤ Physical Activity: Encourages rodents to be active and exercise. They have to walk around, dig, push and pull to get to the rewards. This promotes exercise and helps maintain a healthy weight and good physical condition.

❤ Environmental enrichment: adds an element of challenge and variety to rodent habitats. It makes their daily life more interesting and prevents them from getting bored in a monotonous environment. This can lead to better overall well-being.

❤ Prevents overeating: makes the food process slower and more challenging. This means that rodents have to make more effort to get to their food, which means they cannot eat large quantities in one go. This helps prevent overeating and weight problems.

In short, foraging toys for rodents provide both physical and mental stimulation, help prevent boredom and promote natural behavior. It's a great way to improve their well-being and quality of life.
