BOTANICALS Maxi Mix 400 grams – Natural as a snack or complete food

Bunny Nature Botanicals Maxi Mix 400 grams

Bunny Nature Botanicals Maxi Mix is a natural mix of herbs, leaves, and stems that can be used in two ways: as a snack/enrichment for extra variety, or as the basis of the Bunny Nature Botanicals allNature menu. It is important to understand this difference. The Maxi Mix is a complementary feed in itself; within the Botanicals menu, you combine it with the Mid Mix and the appropriate vitamin tablet.

At DRD, we believe it is especially important with these Botanicals mixes that you can immediately see how to use them. Do you simply want to provide a small, natural snack mixed with hay or in a foraging area? You can do so with the Maxi Mix. Do you want to create a Botanicals menu for a guinea pig, rabbit, chinchilla, or degu? Then use the Maxi Mix as a base and add the Mid Mix and the appropriate vitamin tablet.

Use the Maxi Mix in 2 ways

The Maxi Mix is the coarse base within the Botanicals line. The mix contains leaves, stems, and herbs with texture. This allows you to give it on its own as a snack or enrichment, but also use it as a base when composing the Botanicals menu for herbivorous animals.

Nutritional advice Botanicals menu per day

The table below helps you understand the ratio between Maxi Mix, Mid Mix, and the vitamin tablet. The weights on the left refer to the animal's body weight. Use this as a practical guideline and always adjust based on condition, appetite, hay intake, and species-specific needs.

Guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus are social animals and should be kept with other animals of their species. Therefore, use the table per animal and add up the portions for multiple animals. If you are unsure about the correct combination or portion, we are happy to help.
