Hazelnut Leaf & Stick with Meadow Hay – Layered Forage Tray
A ready-to-serve tray that lets pets dig through sweet meadow grass first, then reach a crunchier layer of hazelnut twigs and leaves. Two ingredients, two textures, one effortless enrichment session.
🌿 What’s Inside & Why It Helps

🥄 Feeding Guide
-
Rabbits & guinea pigs: place the whole tray in the living area; replace when the hay is eaten and sticks are well-chewed.
-
Chinchillas & degus: offer for 24 h twice a week, then remove.
-
Gerbils, hamsters, rats & mice: let them explore the tray for an evening once a week.
-
Parakeets & small parrots: thread a hazel stick through cage bars; crumble a pinch of leaf over seed weekly.
-
Chickens & wild ducks (on land): safe—scatter a small handful of contents once weekly.
-
Garden herbivores (wild rabbits, wood pigeons): safe in moderation; place under cover away from road spray.
Always provide fresh water and lift out soiled remnants after 12 h.
