Dried dandelion for rabbits and small herbivores – whole non-crushed leaves
Merlin&Cie dried dandelion is a natural plant-based treat for rabbits, guinea pigs and small herbivores. Its whole leaves are harvested, dried at low temperature and packed in Auvergne to preserve a light, recognisable and authentic texture.
The leaves can be mixed into hay, offered by hand or used to enrich foraging moments. It is a simple and natural way to add variety to your small companion’s diet while offering a carefully selected plant-based treat.
Available in 15 g, 50 g or 100 g bags, this dried dandelion in whole leaves lets you choose the most suitable format according to your needs, frequency of use and the number of small herbivores at home.

Dried dandelion should be offered as a natural treat or complementary feed. It does not replace hay, which must remain the foundation of the diet for rabbits and small herbivores.
A natural treat in whole leaves
Unlike crushed plants or plants reduced to small pieces, whole leaves make it easier to recognise the plant being offered. They also provide a more natural texture, which can be easily spread through hay to encourage a rabbit or small herbivore to search, sort and nibble.
This whole, non-crushed leaf presentation reflects the Merlin&Cie spirit: simple, clear and carefully prepared plant-based treats designed to enrich animals’ everyday lives without anything unnecessary.
How to give dried dandelion
Dried dandelion can be given by hand, mixed into hay or placed in a suitable foraging toy. It helps add variety to the plants offered and creates a gentle moment of interaction with your animal.

Important information
Dandelion is naturally rich in calcium. It should therefore be offered in moderation, especially for rabbits prone to urinary issues or as part of a diet that is already rich in calcium.
