Norfolk Nettle Stalks
£1.60

Mineral‑Rich Dental Chews

Fresh, sun‑dried stalks from wild Norfolk stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), trimmed to pet‑friendly lengths. Packed with tooth‑grinding fibre, silica and iron, these crunchy stems keep incisors in check while adding a trace‑mineral boost to the daily diet.

🌿 What’s Inside & Why It Helps

  • 100 % dried nettle stalks – zero additives or fillers.

  • High silica – supports natural tooth wear and strong enamel.

  • Vitamins A, C, K + iron, calcium & magnesium – bolster overall vitality.

  • Fibre‑dense chew – relieves boredom and aids healthy digestion.

  • Low oxalate once dried – rabbit‑safe; stings vanish as pets gnaw.

⚠️ Sting Reminder

Drying neutralises most stinging hairs, but a faint tingle can linger. Handle with light gloves and serve dry—pets aren’t bothered once they start chewing.

🥄 Serving Guide

  • Rabbits: 2–3 stalks (about 10 cm each) daily.
