Variety is so important in small animal diets. Rabbits and guinea pigs are natural foragers. They don’t eat only one type of grass, flower, herb or bark. They eat a little bit of this and a little bit of that. (Depending on what’s seasonally available, of course.) Without diet variety, they can suffer a lack of trace minerals and other nutritional components. Small Pet Select’s Young at Heart herbal blend provides the variety they need to mimic forage. 

This small animal herbal blend is made of whole foods. A whole food = something to eat that’s still in its natural state and is bioavailable. It’s still what it ever was. Nothing is taken out of the original plant. A berry that has vitamin C is a whole food. A leaf is a whole food.

A whole food gives vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, fatty acids, and other micronutrients in a way the body needs them and understands them.

Rabbit and guinea pig teeth also require a variety of foods. They need to bite and chew, and crunch. They need to pull at bark and twigs. If they don’t get a chance to do all those things, mouth health can deteriorate and tooth problems crop up.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The dried flowers and herbs held up really well during shipping—not crushed into dust like some blends I've tried. My bunnies do a little happy dance every time I sprinkle this over their hay, and I love that it gets them eating more variety throughout the day.

Christopher ★★★★★

My guinea pigs actually started wheeking when they heard the bag crinkle, and they pick through it to find the flowers first. I love that I can toss in a handful with their regular hay to mix up their foraging routine.

Timothy E. ★★★★★

My rabbits turned their noses up at a few other blends, but this one disappeared from the bowl within minutes—the variety of herbs and flowers clearly hits the foraging instinct. Even my picky guinea pig digs through it for the little bits before touching the hay.
