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.

Thomas ★★★★★

My guinea pig used to turn her nose up at plain hay, but she digs through this blend for the dried flowers every time. It's a nice mix of herbs and bark pieces, way more variety than the single-grass bags I was buying before.

Olivia U. ★★★★★

The dried flowers and herbs hold their color and smell fresh the moment I open the bag, and my rabbit actually picks out the different bits one by one like a little connoisseur. It's clearly more than just plain hay, and I feel better knowing she's getting that natural foraging variety every day.

Claire ★★★★★

My guinea pigs dive into their bowl the minute I scatter this blend in—the mix of different leaves and stems keeps them foraging for ages instead of picking out one thing and ignoring the rest. It's a nice way to add variety without me having to source a dozen separate bags.
