Dried Butterbur – natural herbal supplement for rodents and rabbits
Dried Coltsfoot is a natural herbal supplement for rodents and rabbits. You can use it to make hay more interesting, supplement an herbal mix, or create a small foraging moment in the enclosure. By scattering the herb, your animal has to search, sniff, and discover for itself.
At DRD, when it comes to dried herbs, we focus primarily on how you can practically use them in daily care. Coltsfoot is great for owners who want to offer more natural variety without making things complicated. A small amount mixed into the hay, in a foraging corner, or mixed with other herbs immediately adds more scent, texture, and variety.

Why choose Coltsfoot?
Coltsfoot adds variety to the daily hay and herb feeding time. Many animals react curiously to different scents and textures. By mixing a small amount of dried herb into the hay, the hay becomes more attractive to investigate, and your animal may start searching more actively among the blades.
You can also use Coltsfoot in a foraging corner. Sprinkle a little among hay, bedding, herbs, or dried flowers. This way, you give your animal not only a treat but also something to do. This aligns well with natural behavior such as sniffing, searching, gathering, and quietly nibbling.
For guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, Coltsfoot fits nicely as an herbal variation alongside hay, leaves, flowers, and appropriate food. For small rodents such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, you use it primarily as a light foraging supplement in a herb corner, hamsterscaping, or gerbilscaping setup.
For which animals is Dried Coltsfoot suitable?
- Mouse: suitable as a light herbal supplement. Sprinkle a small amount between hay, herbs, or bedding so that mice can actively search and sniff.
- Dwarf hamster: suitable as a small natural addition in a herb corner or hamsterscaping enclosure. Use a small pinch at a time.
- Hamster: suitable for mixing with herbs, hay, or foraging material. The herb adds extra scent and texture to the enclosure.
- Gerbil: suitable as a herbaceous addition to a digging or foraging zone. Hide it among hay, herbs, or bedding to encourage searching behavior.
- Dwarf rat: suitable as foraging herb using a sniffing mat, herb mix, or Ratscaping zone. Because dwarf rats can vary from one another, adjust the quantity according to your animals.
- Rat: suitable for mixing with foraging material or for use in a sniffing game. Rats often enjoy searching and exploring, making herbs a good fit for enrichment.
- Guinea pig: suitable as a hay topping or herbal supplement in the hay corner. Mix a small amount through the hay to stimulate sniffing and searching.
- Rabbit: suitable as a natural hay topping or as part of a herb mix. Sprinkle a little through the hay or offer it in a forage bowl.
- Chinchilla: suitable as a herbal variation alongside hay, herbs, leaves, flowers, and gnawing material. Feed consciously and use especially small quantities.
- Degu: suitable as a light herbal supplement alongside hay, herbs, leaves, and appropriate food. Mix a small amount with hay or foraging material.
Use & offer
You can offer Dried Coltsfoot in various ways. Mix a small amount into hay, scatter some herb in a foraging corner, or combine it with other dried herbs, leaves, and flowers. For small animals, a pinch is often sufficient; for larger animals, you can dose a little more generously.
Do you want to make the herb moment more active? Then hide the herb among hay, bedding, or in a snuffle mat. This way, your animal has to search, and the herbal supplement becomes more than just something from a bowl. Especially in hamsterscaping, gerbilscaping, and ratscaping, this type of light herbal variation fits beautifully as a natural finishing touch.
Store dried herbs in a dry, dark, and tightly sealed place. This way, the aroma, color, and quality are preserved as well as possible.
