Brighten Up Your Hamster’s Enclosure with Dried Marigold Heads

Add a burst of sunshine to your hamster’s world with Dried Marigold Heads. These vibrant yellow flowers bring colour, texture, and sensory enrichment to your hamster’s enclosure. Each marigold head is a tiny adventure, offering petals and flower centres for your hamster to shred, nibble, and explore.

Sourced naturally and carefully dried, these flowers are pre-frozen at -20°C for 48+ hours to ensure they’re safe, fresh, and pest-free. No additives, preservatives, or artificial treatments — just pure, natural marigold flowers.

How Many Marigold Heads Do You Get?

This pack contains approximately 50g of dried marigold heads, including whole flower heads and petals. Since marigold heads naturally vary in size and weight, the exact number of flowers will differ from pack to pack. But you’ll have plenty to keep your hamster entertained, foraging, and shredding to their heart’s content.

Why Marigold Heads Are Perfect for Hamsters

Marigold heads aren’t just pretty — they’re also a sensory playground for your hamster. Here’s why they’re such a hit with hamsters:
  • Shredding Fun: Hamsters love to shred petals into tiny confetti-like pieces, making a playful mess in the process.
  • Visual Pop of Colour: The bright yellow petals bring vibrant colour to your hamster’s enclosure.
  • Foraging & Enrichment: Whole flower heads provide tactile enrichment, encouraging natural foraging behaviours.
  • All-Natural & Safe: No chemicals, no additives, and pre-frozen for extra freshness and safety.

How to Use Dried Marigold Heads for Hamster Enrichment

There are so many creative ways to use marigold heads in your hamster’s enclosure. Here’s how you can make the most of them:
  • Foraging Adventure: Place them whole in the enclosure and let your hamster explore, shred, and stash petals.
  • Boredom Breakers: Stick petals to cardboard or toys using a flour-based paste to create boredom breakers.
  • Scatter Foraging: Scatter the heads and petals throughout the enclosure to encourage natural foraging instincts.
  • Mix with Forage Blends: Add them to forage blends for a colourful, scented upgrade.

Some hamsters love to shred petals and scatter them around, while others like to collect them for nest-building. However they choose to interact with marigold heads, it’s a playful, natural experience that’s full of sensory fun.

Are Marigold Heads Safe for Hamsters?

Yes, 100%! Marigold heads are completely safe for hamsters. They’re naturally dried, free from chemicals, and frozen at -20°C for 48+ hours to ensure freshness and safety. These flowers are pure and natural, just as nature intended. Whether your hamster nibbles them, shreds them, or collects petals for their nest, you can offer marigold heads with total peace of mind.
