Rosehips broken

$2.50 
SKU: PRO1F0253S

"Rosa Canina"

(cut and sifted)

Rosehips are particularly high in vitamin C content, one of the richest plant sources available.

Rosehips have recently become popular as a healthy treat for pet chinchillas and guinea pigs as they contain significant levels of vitamins, among them Vitamin C. Since they are unable to manufacture their own vitamin C and are unable to digest many vitamin-C rich foods. Rosehips provide a sugarless, safe way to increase their vitamin C intake.

For Degus: feed as treat only! One per week as Rosehips have a slightly higher sugar content.

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.
