Dead Nettle • Carrot Tops • Basil • Plantain • Mixed Flowers • Pea Flakes

2 cups | Approx 65G

Digestion • Appetite • Gut Comfort • Enrichment

A leafy, aromatic botanical blend designed to encourage food interest, natural foraging and digestive variety, particularly during periods when an animal is being a little fussier than usual.

This updated blend combines soft dead nettle with leafy carrot tops, fibre-rich plantain and highly aromatic basil. A small seasonal flower mix adds colour and sensory variety, while just 5% pea flakes are scattered throughout to provide an extra little incentive to investigate the forage.

The focus stays firmly on proper leafy botanicals — pea flakes are deliberately kept tiny, acting as the occasional tempting find rather than turning the blend into a treat mix.

Designed for rotational feeding and enrichment, rather than as a complete food or substitute for veterinary care when an animal has genuinely stopped eating.

🌱 Ingredients

🌿 Dead Nettle – 45%

🥕 Carrot Tops – 20%

🌿 Basil – 10%

🍃 Plantain – 10%

🌸 Mixed Flowers – 10%

🟢 Pea Flakes – 5%

95% botanical forage • 5% pea-flake scatter

• No fruit

• No added sugars

• No artificial colours or flavours

• No unnecessary fillers

🌿 Why These Ingredients?

🌿 Dead Nettle – 45%

The soft leafy base of the blend.

• Adds natural forage fibre

• Provides botanical and mineral variety

• Offers a gentle leafy texture

• Encourages browsing and forage exploration

🥕 Carrot Tops – 20%

The leafy part of the carrot rather than the sugary root.

• Adds natural flavour and aroma

• Provides another leafy texture

• Encourages food interest

• Adds botanical variety without relying on carrot pieces

🌿 Basil – 10%

The aromatic heart of the updated recipe.

Basil has a strong, distinctive scent that can make forage particularly interesting to animals that enjoy investigating food through smell.

• Adds strong natural aroma

• Encourages food exploration

• Provides botanical variety

• Complements the digestive and appetite-focused identity of the blend

Basil already plays this appetite-interest role elsewhere in the GGT range.

🍃 Plantain – 10%

A naturally fibrous wild leaf.

• Adds texture and chewing interest

• Supports a fibre-led diet

• Encourages natural browsing

• Strengthens the digestive focus of the blend

🌸 Mixed Flowers – 10%

A changing selection of suitable flowers depending on seasonal availability.

May include botanicals such as:

• Rose

• Chamomile

• Marigold

• Cornflower

The flowers add:

• Natural colour

• Different aromas

• Sensory enrichment

• Botanical variety

🟢 Pea Flakes – 5%

A deliberately tiny palatability scatter.

• Adds crunchy texture

• Creates little high-interest pieces to search for

• Can encourage engagement with the surrounding forage

Pea flakes are more energy- and starch-dense than leafy forage, so they're kept at just 5% rather than being a major ingredient.

This is intended as a supportive rotational forage, not as a treatment for gut stasis, dental disease or loss of appetite caused by illness.

🐾 Suitable For

🐹 Guinea Pigs

🐰 Rabbits

🐹 Hamsters

🐭 Gerbils

🐀 Rats

🐁 Mice

🐿️ Chipmunks

🐦 Parakeets – occasionally

Because this blend contains pea flakes, I would not recommend it for degus or chinchillas. GGT's current pea-flake guidance also excludes those species.

🥄 Species-Specific Feeding Guide

Offer alongside the normal balanced species-appropriate diet and fresh drinking water.

• 🐹 Guinea Pigs: 1–2 tsp, 2–3× weekly

• 🐰 Rabbits: 1–2 tsp to a small handful, 2–3× 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

• 🐿️ Chipmunks: Approx. 1 tsp, 1–2× weekly

• 🐦 Parakeets: Tiny pinch in a forage tray, occasionally

Introduce unfamiliar botanicals gradually.

Rabbits and guinea pigs should continue to have unlimited suitable hay or grass available at all times.

Because pea flakes are included, avoid picking out and feeding large quantities of them separately.

⚠️ Appetite Support Does Not Mean Appetite Treatment

This blend can make forage more aromatic, varied and interesting.

It should not be used to try to manage an animal that has genuinely stopped eating.

Reduced appetite — particularly in rabbits and guinea pigs — can signal pain, dental disease, gut stasis or another medical problem and needs prompt attention.

The blend is best used for:

• Rotational forage variety

• Naturally fussy eaters

• Forage enrichment

• Adding new smells and textures

• Encouraging normal food-searching behaviour

🌿 The Spirit of the Mix

Soft leaves.

Aromatic basil.

Different textures to search through.

And the occasional crunchy pea flake hiding amongst the forage.

This blend is deliberately simple: good leafy botanicals first, with just enough extra interest to make forage time worth investigating.

🌿 Leafy and fibre-led

👃 Naturally aromatic

🟢 A tiny tempting scatter

Handmade at Heart, Rooted in Rescue.

📦 Storage

Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Keep forage dry and discard if it becomes damp, musty or mouldy. Follow the best-before date shown on the packaging.

Important

This is a supportive rotational forage, not a complete diet or constant daily staple.
