🌿 Gentle Greens & Root Support Forage Mix

Dead Nettle • Dandelion Leaf • Lettuce • Cleavers • Dandelion Root • Basil

Digestion • Appetite • Liver • Kidney & Urinary • Anti-Inflammatory • Antioxidant

Large Bag • Approx. 3 Cups

A gentle, forage-led botanical blend combining leafy greens, wild forage and chopped dandelion root to provide digestive, appetite, liver and urinary support alongside natural feeding enrichment.

The updated Gentle Greens & Root Support recipe moves away from heavier dried vegetables and focuses much more strongly on leaves, herbs and roots.

Dandelion leaf and dead nettle create the main leafy base, while cleavers add another traditional wild forage associated with urinary and whole-body support. Chopped dandelion root adds a naturally bitter element that encourages chewing and food exploration, while a small amount of basil gives the finished blend extra aroma and appetite appeal.

The result is a varied mix of leaves, roots, textures and scents designed for rotational support without becoming an overloaded or overly rich forage.

🌿 Why These Ingredients?

🌿 Dead Nettle – 25%

A soft leafy forage providing botanical variety alongside naturally occurring minerals and antioxidant plant compounds.

Traditionally used for:

• General condition and wellbeing

• Antioxidant support

• Skin and coat support

• Gentle anti-inflammatory support

🌼 Dandelion Leaf – 25%

A familiar wild forage with a naturally bitter flavour that adds both nutritional and sensory variety.

Traditionally associated with:

• Digestive support

• Appetite

• Liver support

• Kidney & urinary function

Dandelion also adds a completely different leaf texture to encourage natural browsing.

🥬 Dried Lettuce – 20%

Provides a lighter leafy element within the mix, creating different textures without relying heavily on roots or dense herbs.

• Adds leafy variety

• Encourages grazing and forage searching

• Helps balance the stronger wild botanicals

🌿 Cleavers – 15%

One of the more functional botanicals in the blend.

Cleavers are traditionally associated with:

• Kidney & urinary support

• Liver support

• Skin and coat condition

• Anti-inflammatory botanical support

They also add long stems and varied textures that work brilliantly for scatter feeding and enrichment.

🌼 Dandelion Root – 10%

The concentrated root element of the mix.

Its naturally bitter taste makes it particularly useful for botanical variety and appetite interest.

Traditionally used for:

• Digestive support

• Appetite stimulation

• Liver support

• Kidney & urinary support

Keeping it at 10% gives the benefits and chewing enrichment of a root forage without allowing it to dominate the lighter leafy ingredients. Your current GGT Dandelion Root forage is likewise categorised primarily around liver, digestive, kidney/urinary and appetite support.

🌿 Basil – 5%

A small but aromatic addition.

• Adds a completely different scent and flavour

• Encourages food exploration

• Adds botanical and vitamin variety

• Particularly useful for creating interest for fussy forage eaters

At only 5%, basil adds aroma without overpowering the wild forage.

🌿 GGT Specialised Categories

Primary

Digestion • Appetite • Liver • Kidney & Urinary

Additional Support

Anti-Inflammatory • Antioxidant • Skin & Coat • Vitamin

This is a body-support and digestive forage, rather than a relaxation blend.

Botanical ingredients are traditionally used to support these areas and should complement appropriate veterinary care rather than replace it.

🐾 Suitable For & Feeding Guide

Feed as a complementary forage alongside the animal's normal balanced diet and fresh water. Introduce new botanicals gradually.

• 🐹 Guinea Pigs: 1–2 tsp, 2–3× weekly

• 🐰 Rabbits: 1–2 tbsp/small handful, 2–3× weekly

• 🐭 Degus: Small pinch, 1× weekly

• 🐭 Chinchillas: Small pinch, 1× weekly

• 🐹 Hamsters: ½–1 tsp, 1–2× weekly

• 🐭 Gerbils: ½–1 tsp, 1–2× weekly

• 🐀 Rats: 1–2 tsp, 1–2× weekly

• 🐁 Mice: Small pinch, 1–2× weekly

• 🐢 Herbivorous Tortoises: Light sprinkle over greens, 1–2× weekly

• 🐌 Giant African Snails: Small pinch, 1–2× weekly; remove leftovers within 24 hours

Guinea pigs and rabbits should continue to have unlimited suitable hay or grass.

Dandelion and cleavers should form part of a varied forage rotation rather than becoming the animal's entire botanical diet. GGT already uses similar rotational guidance for both dandelion root and cleavers.

📦 Size

Large Bag • Approx. 3 Cups

Because this updated recipe contains considerably more lightweight leaves than the previous version, the finished bag weight should be confirmed after mixing rather than automatically carrying over the old 95g weight.

Natural forage varies in leaf size and density, so volume and weight may differ slightly between batches.

🌿 A Gentler Update

The original Gentle Greens & Root Support relied more heavily on dried vegetables.

The updated recipe puts proper forage back at the centre — combining wild leaves, herbs and root pieces to provide greater botanical variety while keeping the mix gentle enough for rotational feeding.

Simple ingredients. Different textures. A reason behind every one. 🌿
