Echinacea & Lucerne-Clover for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Echinacea & Lucerne-Clover for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Echinacea & Lucerne-Clover is a green, fragrant herbal mix for rodents and dwarf rabbits. The mix consists of echinacea, also known as coneflower, lucerne, and marigold blossoms. A lovely, natural combination for owners who like to offer some extra herbal variety alongside the normal main food and hay.

This mix has a very recognizable composition: 47.5% echinacea, 47.5% lucerne, and marigold blossom. As a result, it is not a busy snack mix with all sorts of sweet extras, but rather a simple, fiber-rich herb mix with many green plant parts. You can feed it separately, mix it with hay, or use it in small amounts as a forage mix.

The package contains 100 grams. Because this is complementary food, you should give small amounts. At 2 grams per day, one package lasts approximately 50 days. At 5 grams per day, that is approximately 20 days.

Why choose JR Farm Echinacea & Lucerne?

This is the kind of mix that instantly makes you happy if you love clear, natural ingredients. JR Farm Echinacea & Lucerne-Clover consists almost entirely of two green plant parts: echinacea and lucerne. The marigold blossom makes the mix just a little more cheerful and adds extra color amidst the green.

Echinacea is better known to many pet owners than its Dutch name, *zonnehoed* (sun hat). It is an herbaceous plant with a recognizable scent and coarse texture. Lucerne provides the mix with a fiber-rich base and makes the product ideal for mixing with hay. This makes a normal haymaking session suddenly much more interesting, as your pet has to sniff and search for the tasty bits.

You can also use this mix for foraging. Sprinkle a small amount through a snuffle mat, between safe bedding, or in a hay rack. This gives animals that enjoy foraging, such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, gerbils, and rats, something extra to do during snack time.

Because JR Farm Echinacea & Lucerne is a complementary food, you should not feed it as the main food. For rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus, hay remains the daily basis. For hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, gerbils, and rats, you use this mix primarily as a small green variation alongside an appropriate main food.

For which animals is this herb mix suitable?

JR Farm Echinacea & Lucerne-Clover is suitable as a supplementary herbal mix for dwarf rabbits and various rodents. Always adjust the quantity to the animal species, size, and normal feeding pattern.

• Rabbits: as a green herb mix through the hay or as a small reward.
• Guinea pigs: as an alternative to hay and guinea pig food.
• Hamsters and dwarf hamsters: as a small foraging snack, 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: as a small, herb-rich variation alongside hay and species-appropriate food.

Usage & dosage

Give JR Farm Echinacea & Lucerne as a supplementary herbal mix. 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 enough. 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 it for foraging? Then distribute small amounts in different places in the enclosure. This way, your animal has to search, and the mix is not eaten all at once from a bowl.

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

Compound

Echinacea 47.5%, alfalfa 47.5%, marigold blossom.

Analytical constituents

Crude protein 13.2%, crude fat 2.2%, crude fiber 25%, crude ash 8.8%, calcium 11,400 mg/kg, phosphorus 2,100 mg/kg, sodium 380 mg/kg.

What does this compound mean?

The composition is simple and green: almost half echinacea and almost half lucerne. This makes the mix clear, high in fiber, and easy to understand. The marigold blossoms provide a touch of color and make the mix particularly attractive to blend with hay.

The 25% crude fiber content pairs well with a mix containing many dried plant parts. The calcium content is on the high side, which is logical for a mix with a lot of alfalfa. Therefore, provide this herb mix as a small supplement, so that it remains a nice part of a varied feeding pattern.

Good to know

• This is supplementary food, not the main food.
• Give small quantities alongside appropriate main feed and, for herbivores, unlimited hay.
• Store the spice mix in a dry, cool, and tightly sealed place.
• Allow animals to get used to this mix gradually if they are not yet familiar with it.
• Due to the alfalfa content and the calcium content, low dosing is advisable.
