Marshmallow leaf is an excellent herbal choice for small animals, offering a variety of health benefits. Known for its soothing properties, marshmallow leaf can help alleviate digestive discomfort and promote gut health, making it particularly beneficial for pets with sensitive stomachs. The leaf is rich in mucilage, which provides a natural soothing effect on the digestive tract and can aid in hydration. Additionally, marshmallow leaf contains antioxidants that support the immune system, helping your furry friend stay healthy and vibrant. Its mild flavour and texture can also encourage foraging behaviours, adding variety to their diet. Overall, incorporating marshmallow leaf into your small animal's meals can enhance their well-being while providing a tasty treat!
Please note, like with all botanicals and herbs, it’s a good idea to introduce them slowly into your pet’s diet to prevent any digestive issues.

In my day my bun lived in a hutch and came out on Saturdays.He ate bran and got dandelions,a cabbage leaf or two and a carrot at some point in the week.
Role on 70 years...my buns are bigger,they live free range in the garden and sleep only in a shed. A few pellets in their bowl, a forage tray with hay and wonderful delights from Small Paws and some green leaves and grass to munch and they really are living their best life.
They couldn't pick out any one particular nibble as they were all really moreish. Hop,skip and a jump and it's gone in a trice.Well worth keeping topped up with a variety of flowers and leaves.
The Importance of Treats in Your Small Animal’s Diet
Treats play an important role in your small animal’s overall wellbeing when offered in the right way. More than just a tasty extra, healthy treats can provide mental stimulation, encourage natural foraging behaviours, and help build positive bonds between you and your pet. They can also be a great way to introduce variety and deliver beneficial nutrients alongside a balanced daily diet. Choosing natural, species-appropriate treats—and feeding them in moderation—ensures your small animal enjoys both the flavour and the health benefits, without compromising their nutritional needs.
Can my pet eat these?
We have carefully curated our pet treats and whilst not all treats are suitable for all, hopefully our checklist helps.
