Treats and Fruits • Appetite • Enrichment

A simple, single-ingredient treat made from 100% dried peas. Pea flakes provide a crunchy, palatable reward that encourages engagement and enrichment while offering a mild protein boost.

This is a treat item, not a daily forage. Due to their starch content, pea flakes should always be fed in moderation alongside a fibre-rich diet.

🌿 Why Pea Flakes Work

  • Provide a quick source of plant-based protein

  • Encourage interaction and hand-feeding

  • Support appetite in fussy eaters

  • Add variety to enrichment trays

They are energy-dense, so portion control is important — especially for species prone to weight gain or blood sugar sensitivity.
