High-Fibre, Enrichment-Rich Forage

Tougher than most leafy forage and packed with natural fibre, our 100% dried hornbeam leaves are a fantastic enrichment chew that supports digestion, dental wear, and natural foraging behaviour.

Hornbeam is known for its gentle astringent properties, making it great for gut support and helping firm up stools during dietary transitions or moulting.

These leaves are hand-picked and air-dried to retain their shape, chewability, and mild woody scent. They're ideal for animals that love tougher textures and need an extra challenge.

🐾 Why They’ll Love It:

  • Naturally fibrous – supports digestive flow and gut health

  • Tougher texture – perfect for animals who love a good chew

  • Helps mimic natural browsing behaviour

  • Long-lasting – doesn’t crumble instantly like soft leaves

  • 100% clean, natural, and air-dried – no nasties

💚 Suitable For:

Guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, degus, tortoises, rats, mice, hamsters, parrots, chipmunks, and other small pets.

📦 What’s Inside:

100% hornbeam leaves, air-dried and hand-sorted.
No sprays, additives, or fillers. Just pure nature.

🐢 Tortoises (esp. Mediterranean species):

  • Offer with other leafy forage or fresh greens, 1–2 times weekly.

🌿 Tara’s Tip:
Hornbeam is perfect for pets who fly through soft forages in seconds. Mix it with softer leaves like raspberry or willow to add structure and slow them down.
