🌸 Echinacea – Purple Coneflower Forage

100% Echinacea purpurea

Antioxidant • Immunity • Anti-Inflammatory • Enrichment

A naturally varied botanical forage made from air-dried purple coneflower leaves, stems and petals.

Echinacea brings several textures together in one ingredient — softer leaves, fibrous stems and colourful flower pieces — making it particularly useful for scatter feeding, hay topping and forage enrichment.

Traditionally associated with seasonal immune support, echinacea also contains naturally occurring plant compounds with antioxidant activity.

This is offered as botanical variety and rotational support, not as a medicine or replacement for veterinary treatment.

🌿 Why Echinacea?

🌸 Botanical Variety

Leaves, stems and petals provide several textures within one plant, giving animals more to sniff, select and investigate.

✨ Antioxidant Plant Compounds

Echinacea naturally contains polyphenols and other bioactive plant compounds associated with antioxidant activity.

🌿 Seasonal Support

Echinacea has a long history of traditional use in immune-supportive botanical preparations.

At GGT, we use it as part of a varied rotational diet, rather than claiming it can prevent or treat infection.

🐾 Natural Enrichment

The different plant parts work brilliantly scattered through hay, forage trays or enrichment areas.

🥄 Species-Specific Feeding Guide

Echinacea is a concentrated botanical, so use it as part of a varied forage rotation rather than as the main forage.

• 🐹 Guinea Pigs: 1 tsp, 2–3× weekly

• 🐰 Rabbits: 1–2 tsp, 2–3× weekly

• 🐭 Chinchillas: Small pinch, 1–2× weekly

• 🐹 Degus: Small pinch, 1× weekly

• 🐹 Hamsters: ¼–½ tsp, 1–2× weekly

• 🐭 Gerbils: Small pinch, 1–2× weekly

• 🐀 Rats: ½–1 tsp, 1–2× weekly

• 🐁 Mice: Tiny pinch, 1–2× weekly

• 🐦 Parakeets & Small Parrots: Tiny pinch in a forage tray, occasionally

• 🐔 Chickens: Light sprinkle per bird, 1–2× weekly

• 🐢 Herbivorous Tortoises: Light sprinkle amongst suitable weeds and greens, 1–2× weekly

Introduce unfamiliar botanicals gradually.

Rabbits and guinea pigs should continue to have unlimited suitable hay or grass, and guinea pigs still require an appropriate dietary source of vitamin C.

For animals taking medication, particularly immunosuppressive medication, or those with autoimmune conditions, pregnancy or known plant sensitivities, check suitability with your vet before introducing echinacea.

🌸 Perfect For

• Scatter feeding

• Mixing through hay

• Forage trays

• Botanical rotations

• Adding different textures

• Mixing with suitable leaves, grasses and flowers

• Sensory enrichment

A little goes a long way — this is a botanical forage ingredient, not a replacement for hay or a complete diet.

📦 Pack Size

Available in Small or Large

Choose your preferred size from the options above.

As echinacea contains differently sized leaves, stems and flowers, volume naturally varies between batches. Choose by the stated pack weight where available.

🌸 The Spirit of the Forage

One plant.

Leaves, stems and flowers.

Plenty of different textures to investigate.

Echinacea Purple Coneflower Forage is a simple way to introduce another botanical into forage rotations without fillers, fruit or unnecessary extras.

It is not intended to prevent or treat infections, replace medication or substitute veterinary care.

Stop feeding a new botanical if it causes digestive changes or another unexpected reaction.

📦 Storage

Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Keep dry and discard if the forage becomes damp, musty or mouldy. Follow the best-before date shown on the packaging.
