Selective Naturals Forest Sticks with Blackberry & Chamomile

Description

Selective Naturals Forest Sticks – Blackberry and Chamomile Treats

Selective Naturals Forest Sticks combine Timothy hay and alfalfa hay with blackberry and dried chamomile flowers. Supreme Petfoods bakes these tasty sticks at its bakery in Suffolk, creating a firm treat for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus.

The recipe contains no added sugar or artificial colours. In addition, its maximum crude fibre content of 25.5% makes these sticks a high-fibre choice for small pet herbivores.

Each pack contains 60g.

Made With Blackberry and Chamomile

Blackberries form 4% of the recipe and provide the sticks with their distinctive fruity flavour. Meanwhile, dried chamomile flowers make up a further 0.5%.

Although the manufacturer adds no sugar, blackberries naturally contain some sugar. Therefore, offer the sticks in moderation as a complementary treat.

Because the recipe uses natural ingredients, the precise colour and appearance may vary slightly between packs. However, these small variations are completely normal.

What Is in Selective Naturals Forest Sticks?

Ground Timothy and alfalfa hays form the fibrous base of these baked treats. In addition, the recipe contains oat flour, dried locust beans and ground peas.

Linseeds provide a natural source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids can help support healthy skin and a glossy coat as part of a balanced diet.

Finally, soya oil helps bring the ingredients together and creates the firm stick shape.

High-Fibre Baked Small Pet Treats

The analytical constituents list a maximum crude fibre content of 25.5%. Consequently, these sticks provide considerably more fibre than many conventional small pet treats.

However, baked treats cannot provide the same prolonged chewing experience as long-stem feeding hay. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus should always have access to suitable fresh hay and clean drinking water.

Long strands encourage natural grazing and extended chewing. Therefore, feeding hay should continue to form the main part of your pet’s daily diet. You could serve these treats alongside our Timothy Hay or another suitable long-stem hay.

Ideal for Hand Feeding and Foraging

The stick shape makes these treats easy to hold during hand feeding. As a result, they work well as occasional rewards while you interact with your pet.

Alternatively, hide a stick among clean feeding hay or place it inside a suitable foraging toy. This encourages your pet to search and explore before enjoying the treat.

You can also break a stick into smaller pieces for more controlled portions. However, always supervise your pet when introducing a new treat or activity.

How Many Forest Sticks Should I Feed?

Offer one or two sticks each day, depending on the size of your pet. However, you should reduce the number if you also provide other treats.

Introduce the sticks gradually if your pet has not tried them before. In addition, remove any uneaten pieces if they become wet or contaminated.

Store the pack in a cool, dry place before and after opening. Always follow the directions on your specific packaging if they differ from this guidance.
