"Stellaria media"
(Cut and Sifted)
Chickweed is native to Europe and obtained its name from the fact that chickens like to eat it.
Chickweed is high in Vitamin C and is used against skin diseases like mange, but also against pulmonary infection and arthritis pain.
It's very popular among rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas.
It's an annual flowering plant in the carnation family Caryophyllaceae. It is even used as a leaf vegetable, often raw in salads. It is one of the ingredients of the symbolic dish consumed in the Japanese spring-time festival, Nanakusa-no-sekku.
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 bunny bowl.
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.
