Poppy’s Burrow Blends – Meadow Herb Mix | Safe Herbal Enrichment for Rabbits

Poppy’s Burrow Blends: Meadow Herb Mix

A gentle, herb-forward topper for enrichment, curiosity, and natural variety.

Meadow Herb Mix is a 70/30 herb-to-grain blend created to mimic the variety a rabbit might find while foraging through a meadow. It adds scent, color, texture, and gentle wellness support to your rabbit’s routine without sugary treats or fillers.

This blend is perfect for:
    •    Picky bunnies who need a little encouragement to explore hay or pellets
    •    Sensitive rabbits who can’t have fruit or high-sugar treats
    •    Caregivers who want to offer more natural plant variety in a safe, measured way

Why bunnies love Meadow Herb Mix

✔ Foraging & enrichment
Colorful petals, fragrant leaves, and mixed textures encourage natural foraging, digging, and nibbling behavior.

✔ Tummy-friendly variety
Herbs like peppermint, fennel, and chamomile are traditionally used to support comfortable digestion and reduce gas without being harsh on sensitive tummies.

✔ Gentle calm & balance
Chamomile and lemon balm are classic, soothing herbs that can be helpful during routine stress (travel, new environments, vet visits, etc.).

✔ Plant-based nutrients
Leaves, petals, and seeds like nettle, rose hips, hibiscus, and milk thistle bring natural phytonutrients and antioxidants—without added sugars or artificial ingredients.

Meadow Herb Mix is meant to complement a hay-based diet, not replace hay, fresh water, or a quality pellet.
