🎄 Winter Hazel – Christmas Forage Blend
£1.00 £0.82

20 g / 85 g | Pure / Mix

Available in two festive variations:

  • 🎋 100% Hazel (Leaves & Twigs) – pure woodland crunch for dental and gum health

  • 🌾 70% Hazel + 30% Mixed Meadow Grass – extra fibre and soft hay-sweet scent for gentle tummies

Hand-foraged and air-dried beneath winter skies to lock in the natural crunch, aroma, and nutrition of the season.
Hazel’s deep green leaves and russet twigs bring texture, enrichment, and antioxidant goodness, while the meadow grass adds long-strand fibre — the secret to a happy herbivore gut all year round.

🌰 Why It Works

Hazel Leaves & Twigs (Pure or 70%)
✨ Natural dental wear: Tough, tasty twigs act like nature’s toothbrush — perfect for keeping incisors trim through the cold months.
✨ Festive tannins: Support gum tone and oral hygiene, and may help keep coccidia in check (medirabbit.com).
✨ Antioxidant boost: Leaf polyphenols and minerals strengthen immunity (thedomesticatedrabbit.com).
✨ Woodland enrichment: Offers the scent, sound, and texture of a true winter forage — a little Christmas woodland in every handful.

Mixed Meadow Grass (30% in mix option)
🌿 Gut comfort: Long-strand fibre keeps digestion flowing smoothly (Well Kept Rabbit).
🌿 Natural variety: Adds colour and scent for a festive-forage feel — green hay ribbons among hazel twigs like tinsel in a hay wreath.

No grains, sugars, flavours, or fillers — just pure leaves, twigs, and meadow sweetness, slow-dried with care.

❤️ Tara’s Christmas Note

This batch was foraged just before the frost — the leaves turning copper-gold, the air crisp and bright. I took the kids along to gather each stem by hand, their laughter mixing with the rustle of branches. Knowing that every bag carries a little of that winter joy makes it extra special to share.
