Nettle for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Nettle for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Nettle is a simple, green supplementary snack for rodents and rabbits. The composition consists of dried nettle. This makes it a straightforward herbal choice for owners who wish to offer a specific type of herb alongside the normal main food and hay.

Nettle has a spicy scent and a coarse, green texture. You can give it loose in small amounts, mix it with hay, or use it as a foraging mix in the enclosure. This makes a regular haytime just a little more interesting and invites your animal to sniff, search, and nibble.

The package contains 80 grams. Because this is complementary food and the analysis shows a high calcium content, feed small amounts. At 1 gram per day, one package lasts approximately 80 days. At 2 grams per day, that is approximately 40 days.

Why choose JR Farm Nettle?

Sometimes a simple snack is just what you need. JR Farm Nettle consists of a single type of herb, so you know exactly what you are feeding. This is handy if you like to keep track of the treats you offer alongside the daily food.

Nettle has a distinct herbaceous scent and suits animals that enjoy sniffing and searching. Sprinkle a little through the hay, hide some in safe bedding, or use it in a snuffle mat. This way, you instantly turn a small amount of the herb into a fun activity.

For rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus, hay always remains the most important staple. For hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, gerbils, and rats, use nettle primarily as a small variation alongside an appropriate main food.

The analysis shows a high calcium content. Therefore, small dosing is important with this product. A pinch mixed into the hay or a small amount in a foraging corner is often enough to add scent and variety.

For which animals is this nettle suitable?

JR Farm Nettle is suitable as a supplementary snack for rabbits and various rodents. Always adjust the quantity to the animal species, size, and normal feeding pattern.

• Rabbits: as a small herbal supplement mixed into the hay or as a reward.
• Guinea pigs: as a small variation alongside hay and guinea pig food.
• Hamsters and dwarf hamsters: as foraging herb, for example hidden in the enclosure.
• Mice and gerbils: as a sniffing and searching mix through a foraging area.
• Rats and pygmy rats: as a small supplement or reward during foraging.
• Chinchillas and degus: consciously offer in small quantities due to the calcium content.

Usage & dosage

Give JR Farm Nettle as a supplementary herbal snack. Sprinkle a small amount over the hay, mix it into a sniffing area, or offer it in a food bowl. For small animals, a pinch is often sufficient. For larger animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs, you can dose a little more generously, but keep it supplementary.

Do you want to use nettle for foraging? Then distribute small amounts in different places in the enclosure. This way, your animal has to search and it is not eaten all at once from a bowl.

Allow animals to get used to it gradually if they are not yet familiar with nettles. Start with a small amount and see how your animal reacts.
