BOTANICALS Mid Mix – Natural as a snack or complete nutrition

Bunny Nature Botanicals Mid Mix herb and flower mix

Bunny Nature Botanicals Mid Mix is a fine mix of herbs, flowers, and leaves that you can use in two ways: as a small natural snack for extra variety, or as part of the Bunny Nature Botanicals allNature menu. This distinction is important, because the Mid Mix is not a complete staple food on its own. In the Botanicals menu, you always combine the Mid Mix with the Maxi Mix and the appropriate vitamin tablet.

At DRD, we believe it is especially important with these Botanicals mixes that you immediately understand how to use them. Will you be feeding the Mid Mix as a fragrant snack mixed into hay or in a foraging area? Or do you want to create a complete Botanicals menu with Maxi Mix, Mid Mix, and the right vitamin component? Below, you can see exactly how the combination works.

✔ Fine mix of herbs, flowers, and leaves for natural variety
✔ Can be used as a snack or as part of the Botanicals menu
✔ Stimulates foraging, sniffing, and natural eating behavior
✔ Available in multiple fragrant floral and herbal varieties
✔ Without pellets or extrudates
✔ Easy to combine with Bunny Nature Botanicals Maxi Mix

Use the Mid Mix in 2 ways

The Mid Mix is the fragrant variation in the Botanicals line. The mix consists of more finely cut herbs, leaves, and flowers. This makes it very easy to mix into hay, sprinkle over a base feed, or use in a foraging area.

✓ Create your own Botanicals menu

Do you want to use the Botanicals Mid Mix as part of the allNature menu? Then you combine three components. The Maxi Mix forms the base, the Mid Mix provides extra variety of herbs, flowers, and leaves, and the vitamin tablet supplements the daily vitamin component.

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.
