Soft-Dried Willow Leaf

Pain-Ease & Mineral-Lift Forage

Hand-clipped willow (Salix spp.) leaves, slow-dried until softly pliable. Willow’s bark is famous for its natural salicin (the forerunner of aspirin); the leaves carry gentler levels of the same anti-inflammatory compound plus a hefty dose of cobalt, zinc and gut-friendly tannins.

🌿 What’s Inside & Why It Helps

• 100 % dried willow leaves – no fillers, no flavourings.

  • Eases low-grade aches thanks to natural salicin and flavonoids, offering gentle pain-relief and anti-inflammatory support. Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF)ScienceDirect

Soft-drying keeps leaves flexible and flavourful without crumbling.

🥄 Feeding Guide

• Rabbits & guinea pigs: two level tablespoons daily mixed into main hay.

• Chinchillas & degus: one heaped teaspoon every other day.

• Gerbils, hamsters, rats & mice: half-teaspoon once a week as enrichment.

• Parakeets & garden birds: crumble a pinch over seed once weekly.

• Chickens & wild ducks: scatter one teaspoon per bird, up to twice weekly, as a healthy green topper.

• Wild herbivores (rabbits, wood pigeons): safe to sprinkle a handful in a pesticide-free corner.

• Hedgehogs & chipmunks: largely insectivorous—this leaf is harmless but not nutritionally needed, so skip it.

Introduce gradually; always supply fresh water and clear uneaten leaves after 12 hours.

⚠️ Pain-killer Caution

Willow contains salicin. Avoid feeding alongside prescribed NSAIDs (e.g., meloxicam) without vet advice, as the combination may alter drug action. Westley’s World
