Fresh BIO Grass Lily Plant

Fresh BIO Grass Lily Plant for rodents and rabbits!

Season Product: Only available in spring and summer

The botanical name Chlorophytum is derived from the Greek terms chloros = yellowish green and phyton = plant. The green lily is not only a beautiful houseplant, but also popular with cats and rodents for its sturdy, but still not sharp-edged leaves. Even birds and terrarium dwellers love to nibble on the plant. Presumably the high water content of the leaves contributes to its popularity: the leaves serve as storage organs for water. With this trick, this plant can easily survive 'thirsty days'. So you don't need green fingers for this plant!

Incidentally, Chlorophytum is one of the few plant species that can filter pollutants from the ambient air. This also means that the plant should not be kept in nicotine-containing chambers if it is also given as rodent food.

WHICH PLANT SPECIES FOR WHO?

All plants available from us are suitable for rodents. However, the plants all have their own special properties. The thyme plant smells wonderfully fresh and is good for the respiratory tract, the chamomile plant has a calming and antibacterial effect, the blood sorrel works purifying the blood and the melissa is a source of vitamins and minerals, but also has a wonderful lemon scent. In short, all plants have their own special properties, colors and shapes.

Cat grass is well known in cats. This grass species helps the cat to remove hairballs, but other animals such as birds and turtles also benefit greatly from real natural plants.

HAMSTER CAPING WITH REAL PLANTS

The heart of the hamster scaper now starts to beat faster, because a fresh plant in the enclosure is of course the ultimate natural decoration of the hamster caped enclosure. We can actually go in all directions depending on the ground cover. If you use a "soil" -like ground cover such as humus, you could choose to plant the plants directly in the ground. The roots will then continue to grow in the ground. This way you have a perennial in the enclosure. How quickly the animals eat the plant depends on the rodent species. Mice, Dwarf Hamsters and Hamsters often take it easier with the plants. Gerbils on the contrary, nibble on them more quickly.

When hamster caping, you can also choose to put the plant in a pot in the enclosure. An advantage of this is that the plant can be more easily removed from the enclosure to allow it to grow.

DISPLAY NATURAL BEHAVIOR THANKS TO THE FRESH PLANTS

The plants are therefore nutritious, healthy and also have a very nice decorative function, but there is something else we should not forget. The plants promote the natural behavior of rodents. In the wild, rodents are mainly engaged in foraging for food, and rabbits are actually eating all day long. Reborn (plant-eating animals) have a gastrointestinal system that can only work if new food is constantly eaten. The new food pushes the old through the intestines, as it were, which is why it is very important that rabbits have access to hay all day long.

In the wild, the animals choose their own diet, but a large part of the diet consists of fresh plant parts. These are chosen for their fiber, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, proteins, but also for their medicinal effect. Many plants are known for their health-promoting properties. The animals know this better than anyone and also in the wild they instinctively look for the right plant for an ailment.

Pay attention! The plants are intended as consumption for the rodents, not as ornamental plants for the home. Some plant knowledge is required to keep the plants alive and beautiful.
