Choose from 100% Pure Peppermint or Peppermint & Grass Mix.
Fresh-smelling, naturally aromatic and impossible to mistake for anything else, Peppermint Forage is ideal for adding a completely different scent and flavour to forage time.
Peppermint's strong natural aroma makes it particularly useful for food interest and sensory enrichment, while its long traditional association with digestive comfort makes it a natural fit within the GGT digestion range.
Choose it completely pure for a single botanical ingredient, or mixed with grasses for extra grazing texture and a softer everyday forage.

Plus plenty of natural sensory and foraging enrichment.
Peppermint has a long history of traditional digestive use, but this product is offered as complementary botanical forage rather than treatment for digestive illness.
π± Why Peppermint?
Peppermint brings something very different to a forage rotation.
π Strong Natural Aroma
Its distinctive scent can make a forage tray immediately more interesting and encourages sniffing, searching and exploration.
πΏ Digestive Botanical Variety
Mint has traditionally been associated with digestive comfort and is a familiar culinary herb suitable for rabbits and guinea pigs.
β€οΈ Food Interest
The strong aroma and flavour can provide extra variety for animals that enjoy fragrant herbs.
β¨ Antioxidant Plant Compounds
Peppermint naturally contains aromatic plant compounds and polyphenols, giving it another role within a varied botanical diet.

Rabbits and guinea pigs should continue to have unlimited suitable hay or grass available at all times. Hay remains the foundation of their diet.

Natural dried leaves vary in size and density, so the amount of space the forage occupies may vary between batches.
Always choose by the stated weight.
πΏ The Spirit of Peppermint
Open the bag and you'll know exactly what's in it. ππΏ
Fresh.
Fragrant.
Leafy.
And completely different from the softer hedgerow botanicals.
Use it pure for a bold aromatic forage, or soften it with grasses for something a little more grazing-led.
πΏ Strong natural aroma
πΎ Optional grassy texture
πΎ Made for sniffing, searching and nibbling
Handmade at Heart, Rooted in Rescue.
π¦ Storage
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Keep forage dry and discard if it becomes damp, musty or mouldy. Follow the best-before date shown on the packaging.
