History of the Hazelnut plant
The seeds of this shrub, which are in a hard shell, are a popular food, but oil can also be pressed from them. The leaves and bark in particular were often used as medicines, for example for diseases of the veins or the circulatory system. They are also sometimes used for liver and bile complaints.
Yes, of course! It is very nice to use for Hamsterscaping , not only as a natural decoration, but also as a healthy and natural gnawing material to wear down the teeth of the animals. It's actually a very natural approach to how the wildlife also wears their teeth, they do this by gnawing on different types of branches, so in that sense the Hazelnut harvest appeals to the natural behavior of rodents and rabbits!
Yes for sure! The Hazelnut Harvest falls under the harvest with leaves , which is different from harvest with seeds or harvest with herbs . The harvest with leaves is best suited as food for herbivorous (plant-eating) rodents (guinea pig, chinchilla, degu) and rabbit. These animals like to eat the leaves as a source of fiber and then nibble on the branches with the added function of wearing down the teeth.
The granivorous (seed-eating) rodents, such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils and rats eat the leaves less quickly, they only do this when they need extra fiber. The Hazelnut harvest will mainly be used as an extra source of fiber and as a healthy gnawing material for these animals.
Some rodents gnaw wood very actively and others don't at all. It is on the one hand a matter of taste, but on the other hand a matter of need. If a rodent has no need to gnaw because the teeth stay at a good length through food, hay or other nibbles, then he will gnaw on wood less. It is good to always offer natural gnawing material so that the animals can always gnaw if they have a need to gnaw.
Gnawing wood is used by rodents to wear down their teeth. Because the teeth of rodents always grow, they need to be chewed regularly so that they do not become too long and grow crooked.
That differs greatly for which animal you use it and what the gnawing needs of the animals are. If they have a great gnawing need and it is urgent that the teeth are sharpened, the harvest will be nibbled up quickly, but in practice we actually see that animals nibble on it regularly and that the harvest lasts several changes.
Unfortunately, that is not always the case. The harvest is dried, so that the leaves are also dried. Just like in nature, the leaves detach quickly when they are dry. In addition to the drying process, nature also influences the shape and richness of this natural product and it can differ significantly from the harvest in the photo shown.
Initially, the JR Farm Hazelnut harvest has the function of gnawing wood to wear down the teeth. The dry leaves that travel along on the twigs or in the packaging are an extra source of fiber for the animals or can be used as green decoration for hamster scapes. Finally, the Hazelnut harvest can be used as decoration in hamsterscaping.
It is nice to know that we receive this crop directly from the manufacturer and can therefore offer very good freshness. In our warehouse, the harvest is kept cool, dry and UV-free. The latter is important to prevent degradation of nutrients by UV light. We therefore recommend that you always store the harvest in a dark, cool and dry place.

De bladeren waren bij mij al af de takjes toen ik het pakket binnen kreeg, maar misschien verschilt dit per pakketje. De bladeren vonden mijn konijnen en cavia’s wel lekker maar met de takjes deden ze niks.
Hele mooie takjes en men woezeltje is er gek op
Mijn hamster vind het heerlijk!
Grote takken. Onze hamster doet er helaas niets mee
