"Urtica dioica"
(Cut and Sifted)
Very popular with bunnies!!
Often known as common nettle, stinging nettle (although not all plants of this species sting) or nettle leaf, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family Urticaceae.
The Stinging Nettle is better fed dried. It cleans the blood, is diuretic, detoxifying, strengthens the immune system, against diarrhea, is appetizing, helps with arthritis, pushing the metabolism, lowering the blood sugar level and is mucolyctic.
The roots of the stinging nettle can help with bladder and / or prostate problems, especially in older male animals. The nettle root can also provide relief from painful urination and be used when the bladder can no longer be completely emptied. For rabbits and guinea pigs, they are a varied and healthy snack that can always be offered in a mixture.
Please keep always in mind when you serve your pet new food:
Some animals need their time to smell and try it since a lot of them have never smelled a flower or certain herbs before.
We, however, found that most bunnies and other critters digged our flower mixes right away. :-)
Start with a 1oz bag unless you KNOW your pet loves that kind of treat since we do not offer refunds, exchange or returns on food.
Please note that depending on the time of harvest and weather conditions the color and size of the items may vary.
Item does not include wooden slider.
Please note that some of these herbs like dandelions, red clover and nettles contain a larger amount of calcium compared to other herbs or flowers. In their fresh state some of these herbs may be diuretic but if you have an animal with bladder stones or issues with bladder sludge we suggest to consult your vet before offering these as treats.
