Why give dehydrated herbs?
Wild rabbits have unlimited access not only to fresh grass, but also to a wide variety of plants and herbs with various properties. This allows them to balance their diet and stay healthy by instinctively eating plants that contain the appropriate healing substances. Rabbits kept in captivity have lost this ability, and they don't have such possibilities, because they depend on what we give them. Wild rabbits have access to hundreds of different types of plants, but in our homes their numbers are drastically limited. This is why it is so important to feed our rabbits as much grass as possible (fresh in season and dried in winter) and a variety of green vegetables, so that they have the best balanced diet possible - and by "grass "plants often referred to as "weed" means "weeds" and not mint or basil from the store.
How to use herbs?
The herbs can be served as one of the daily foods or, if it is a properly composed mixture, they can completely replace the pellets. In addition to their diet, herbs can be served as a kind of toy, hidden in tunnels, wrapped in paper, or among vegetables for our rabbits. The grasses look absolutely stunning composed with the leafy greens. The roots are a great toy for natural tooth wear, or you can wrap them in a toilet paper roll or throw them in the hay and watch our rabbits in their natural foraging behavior.
Discover the benefits of roots!!!
Let's not forget something that our rabbits definitely enjoy in the wild which is ROOTS (eg dandelion, chicory). Dandelion root stimulates the secretory functions of the stomach and liver, improves metabolism, regulates good intestinal microflora, contains dietary fiber inulin, which also lowers blood sugar levels. The majority of rabbits go crazy for dandelion roots. All of these examples can help with the natural wear of the teeth, but also provide a lot of pleasure. It is worth including twigs and roots in your rabbit's daily diet.
Advice
It is above all a question of balance!
A good herbal mix should consist of at least 10 different herbal species mixed together in the same amount to allow the rabbit to have access to a wide variety of nutrients. The greater the variety of herbs, the better. However, it is important to keep in mind that balance is key – for example, when giving calcium-rich herbs you should balance them with diuretics.
The wild rabbit in wildlife, apart from grass, also eats meadow grasses like plantain, nettles, etc. We give the rabbits dried hay, so we can also give the dried meadow grasses. Dried herbs also contain a high amount of fiber, I would say around 15-25%.
​
Take note that fresh veggies, which you can buy in the grocery store, are not the same as those from the meadows (but also have vitamins and a good level of fibre).
The next important thing to note is that since the herbs are dehydrated; this makes them easier to digest.
You can also use them as supplements in your rabbit's diet.
​
Our shelter uses herbs to stimulate rabbit foraging and as supplements.
We use herbs especially for stray rabbits that come under our care so as not to unbalance their digestive system.
It's very convenient for us to have bags of dehydrated herbs always on hand if ever we don't have time to go to the grocery store every 2 days for fresh greens or if it's some ingredients are missing in store (romaine lettuce, Jerusalem artichoke, etc.)
