Nettle (Delivery Only)

Nettle leaf is a highly beneficial and nutrient-dense addition to the diet of small animals. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium, nettle leaves help support a healthy immune system, promote strong bones, and improve overall vitality. The high fibre content aids in digestion, preventing constipation and promoting gut health, while the antioxidants found in nettles help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Nettle leaves also have mild diuretic properties, which can support kidney function and help flush out excess toxins from the body. In addition to their nutritional value, nettles provide mental stimulation through their natural foraging appeal, encouraging small animals to explore and engage with their food. While nettle should be offered in moderation, and preferably dried (to avoid irritation from fresh leaves), it is a safe and enriching treat for small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters when provided as part of a balanced diet.

Please note, like with all botanicals and herbs, it’s a good idea to introduce them slowly into your pet’s diet to prevent any digestive issues.
