I've seen a lot of mention about a site run by a member of the forum by the name Piggy Parcels. I went to check it out, and it looks really cool! A lot of the members here also seem to really like it. I think it would be nice for a treat, or just to sprinkle in a little pinch of into a hay box.

The issue is, I can't seem to find an equivalent shop in the U.S.? The closest things I've found were Treat Bags on the Guinea Pig Market, and the Rosewood natural treat bags like the Nature's Salad. I'm not sure about how healthy these would be for a guinea pig though? Or if they'd even want to eat what's in them at all. If anyone in the U.S. knows of a place to get things like Piggy Parcels, I'd really appreciate it.

I live in the uk and on Amazon there are a few good options. Natures salad is quite good and one of my pig’s favourites. I wouldn’t recommend cheap stuff as it’s dusty.
 
I agree, the Nature’s Salad one from Rosewood is really nice. Just be sure to pick out the corn/pea flakes as they’re not the best for piggies.

Generally I’d stick with the more herby stuff.
 
Thank you for responding, and it looks like the Nature's Salad is what I'll go with. I thought pea flakes were a good treat for guinea pigs though?

I'd just be sprinkling a small pinch of this into a hay box, for some added foraging enrichment. Is it okay if I do that?
 
Pea flakes are fine for an occasional treat.
Don’t forget you can also hide their tablespoon of nuggets or their daily veg within hay for the same enrichment
