🪄 MAGICAL Weeds/Final
🌱Ready to Forage? First, make sure you are foraging w**ds that have not been treated with any type of chemicals!
🌱You also need to know what you are looking at. If you are unsure, a book* about foraging wild edibles is good to have on hand! NEVER give your bunny any w**d unless you are 110% sure what it is!
🌱Pull together - a basket for collecting your w**ds, heavy duty gloves, clippers & a w**d puller.
🌱Make sure to forage w**ds in areas free from all contaminants! Pick “higher up” if possible, to avoid risk of disease & never pick anything that is moldy or has parasites.
🌱You have your “Forage”, what now? Place your w**ds in a sink filled with cool water. Soak for 20 minutes to refresh them, swirl the dirt off, then remove, dry, & refrigerate in a zip-top bag. Stored in the fridge, they should last about a week. Alternatively, dry your w**ds. This can be done by lying them out in a single layer in the sun to dry or by using a dehydrator or the oven on a low setting. Once dried, store in air tight containers in a cool dry place.
🌱Adding w**ds can be a simple, powerful way to boost their nutrition & enhance their quality of life. With careful selection of safe, pesticide-free options, w**ds offer a natural, enriching supplement to our bun’s regular food. Not only do they provide essential nutrients, but they also engage our rabbit’s natural instincts to forage. With addition of these w**ds, you can give your rabbit the health benefits of nature, which can give them a happier & healthier life.
🌱Again, as with any new food, introduce small quantities & observe if your bun likes it & tolerates it. Never use healing w**ds in place of traditional medicine. Always consult your exotic vet if your bunny is ill. Remember, rabbits are delicate animals, & not all w**ds are safe. Should you see any of these symptoms, intestinal upset & inflammation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, fever or low body temperature, seizures, lethargy, weakness & depression. STOP giving that w**d & contact your rabbit savvy vet!
