Quick Answer
Vita-Licious Herbal Blend is a dried herb and flower mix that mimics what rabbits and guinea pigs would forage in the wild. Use it as a daily supplement to add variety, trace minerals, and enrichment to their diet.
Why Variety Matters in a Small Pet's Diet
Rabbits and guinea pigs are natural foragers. In the wild, they nibble a mix of grasses, herbs, flowers, and bark depending on what is seasonally available. A diet lacking this variety can lead to deficiencies in trace minerals and other nutrients. A herbal blend like Vita-Licious helps fill that gap by offering a rotating selection of safe, edible plants.
When to Use a Herbal Supplement vs. Hay or Pellets
Hay should always be the foundation of your small pet's diet, making up about 80% of their daily intake. Pellets provide balanced vitamins and minerals. A herbal blend is a supplement—not a replacement. Use it to add enrichment and variety without upsetting the nutritional balance. It is especially useful for picky eaters or pets that seem bored with their regular food.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Vita-Licious Herbal Blend made of?
It is a dried blend of herbs and flowers selected for small herbivores. The exact ingredients rotate seasonally to mimic natural foraging, but always include safe, edible plants like chamomile, dandelion, and rose petals.
How much should I feed my rabbit or guinea pig?
Start with a pinch (about 1 teaspoon) per day per pet. Observe how your animal responds. You can gradually increase to 1 tablespoon per day for an adult rabbit or guinea pig, but always keep hay as the main food source. Monitor stool consistency when introducing any new food.
How do I introduce it to a picky eater?
Mix a small amount into their regular hay or pellets. You can also scatter it in a forage tray or hide it in a cardboard tube to encourage natural searching behavior. Most pets accept it within a few days. If your pet refuses it after a week, try offering it at a different time of day.
How should I store the herbal blend?
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. An airtight container or resealable bag works well. Properly stored, it stays fresh for up to 6 months. Check for any signs of mold or off smells before each use.
