If you leave the flower on your rosebush, the petals will fall off after it finishes blooming, and a small red fruit will form — that is the rosehip. Fresh rosehips are a source of vitamin C. Seedless rosehips are crushed in to small flakes, great as a supplement or small treat.
Rose Hips – Seedless are ideal for
• Chinchillas
• Hamsters & Dwarf Hamsters
• Degu
• Gerbils

Rose hips have recently become popular as a healthy treat for pet chinchillas and guinea pigs. Chinchillas are unable to manufacture their own Vitamin C, but lack the proper internal organs to process a variety of foods. Rose Hips provide a sugar free, safe way to increase the Vitamin C intake of chinchillas.
