Carrot Stix

Carrot Stix
£1.79 FREE shipping

Carrot Stix combine high-fibre Sweet Green Hay with naturally dried carrot to create a simple, enrichment-focused chew bar that supports dental health and instinctive foraging behaviour.

Made from traditionally grown Sweet Green Hay, field-dried and carefully finished to retain colour and nutrients, these bars provide the essential fibre herbivores rely on for digestive balance and tooth wear. The addition of dried carrot adds colour, scent, and a gentle touch of natural sweetness to encourage engagement.

Designed as a complementary treat, Carrot Stix are ideal for breaking into segments, hiding in hay, or hand-feeding to strengthen bonding and promote natural behaviours.

🌿 Ingredient Benefits (and who benefits most)

🌱 Sweet Green Hay (Dried Grass)

🥕 Dried Carrot

  • Natural source of beta-carotene (Vitamin A precursor)

Most beneficial for:
🐹 Guinea pigs — supportive enrichment alongside vitamin-C-rich foods.
