Shared by pet owners who care

Great quality, and a hit with my furbabies!
Seems to be all leaves and not just crumbled dust

First time purchase. Rabbit lijes it.

Fabulous

G.pigs approve:)

Great quality, and a hit with my furbabies!

I told my Mommy to get me some more!

This is Ria
My Mommy got me some of this green stuff. She said it’s called nettle and it’s dry leaves. Well, I love it! I told her she has to get me more now and that I should be happy that Lisa and Louisa sent these leaves to me. I laughed when Mommy opened the bag and it went everywhere.
I couldn’t help it ‘cause it was very funny!! Now mommy really has to get me more!

My chinchilla scoffs these amazing nettles all day and night too.

Lots of twigs and some dust but also large clumps of nettle all in together. Fresh from the UK, excellent product am now purchasing multiple bags at a time trying to keep up with my pets appetite for them.

What few leaves there were in this batch my chinchilla relished them.

I shall probably order these nettles again, hoping that next bag will be closer to the usual high quality product that I have become accustomed to. Otherwise I'm unsure what to say, other than that it may not be suitable for chinchillas.

Good size bag

Good size bag supplied, loved by my rabbit and whilst I haven't reached the bottom of the bag yet, seems to be all leaves and not just crumbled dust that some suppliers package.

Another favourite

Bunnies seem to love this. Lovely dried leaves.

Both buns love this and it is a particular favourite of my little bunny. She is quite fussy and turns her nose up at a lot of things including treats! She doesn't have a sweet tooth like my other bun and when she hears the bag she runs around my feet and even sticks her head in the bag to pull the nettle out!! Cannot tell you how frantic I am when this is out of stock.

Very good quality my chinchillas love it
