Alfalfa Leaves & Stems
Organic, Non GMO, herb (not to be used as hay) for overall health. Highly nutritious as the roots go deep into the soil and pull a lot of nutrients up into the plant. One of the top traditionally used herbs for arthritis and helpful for strengthening connective tissue.
Chamomile
This general purpose calming and digestive aid is also good for skin irritations when used as an herbal rinse. Some bunnies enjoy cooled chamomile tea to drink.
Dandelion FLOWERS:
Dandelion holds a unique place in herbal medicine with all parts of the plant offering health benefits. While the roots and leaves have stronger properties, the joyful little flowers are high in lecithin and also known to be a source of antioxidants and vitamins. They are considered to offer support to the eyes and skin and to have very mild analgesic qualities. And they are pretty tasty, like honey to a bunny!
Dandelion ROOT (for adult bunnies only)
Highly nutritive. One of the most complete plant foods, dandelion benefits many systems of the body, but the root especially is used as a gentle liver function strengthener.
Recommended: 1/4 tsp, three times a week.
Caution: If used in too high a quantity may have a laxative effect)
Green Oats (best for Adult bunnies)
Nutritive with considerable nutrients for overall health. Especially helpful for adult bunnies needing extra nourishment and calories.
Often put into formulas for easing anxiety and stress, these nutritive immature oats, as well as oat straw herb in the "milk" stage, are considered by herbalists a nervine. A much-loved treat for adult bunnies and perhaps the best nervous system tonic for aging or debilitated animals. Green oat tops are great to combine with chamomile to help during recovery from stress
Giving "oats" has been controversial in some circles and the information on the net can be very confusing. Given judiciously as treats, not as a main food source, oats can be a real healthy treat your bunny will love.
Red Clover Blossoms (not for pregnant or lactating bunnies) DISCONTINUED
A floral nutritive and tonic herb. While helpful to promote general health the strongest affinities are with the liver, blood, and skin. May be used internally and externally (for example a cooled tea can be useful for flaky dry skin for symptomatic relief). A flower or two per serving when given as a treat. Not for pregnant or nursing bunnies due to phytoestrogen compounds.
Rosehips (for adult bunnies only)
Tasty, tart fruit treat which can be used as a vitamin C supplement (great for guinea pigs), giving the usual vitamin C benefits. There is some research indicating rose hips may be helpful for arthritis and back pain.
Recommended: 1/4 tsp, three times a week.
Caution: If used in too high a quantity may have a laxative effect
Personal Note: My bunny finds these too tart on their own, but she will Nom on these when I mix them with her other favorites - like the Alfalfa leaves and Chamomile.
Due to product availability - there is a 6 or 8 qty limit per customer. Limit varies per product.
