Dried lemon balm for rabbits and small herbivores

Merlin&Cie dried lemon balm is an aromatic plant-based treat for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus. Also known as Melissa officinalis, it is appreciated for its gentle, slightly lemony leafy scent, which helps bring variety to the diet of small herbivores.

This dried plant can be offered alongside hay, mixed into a handful of hay, placed in a foraging mat or given directly by hand. Its light texture and natural aroma make it an interesting little plant-based treat to enrich foraging time and offer a simple, natural tasting moment with nothing unnecessary.

Merlin&Cie lemon balm is harvested, dried at low temperature and packed in Auvergne. This artisan preparation helps preserve a recognisable, naturally fragrant plant, suitable for measured feeding to rabbits and small herbivores.

Why offer lemon balm to your rabbit?

  • Aromatic plant-based treat for rabbits and small herbivores
  • Plant also known as Melissa officinalis, because of its natural lemony scent
  • Light texture, easy to mix with hay
  • Helps vary the dried plants offered day to day
  • Encourages foraging and natural enrichment
  • Naturally contains plant fibres and minerals present in the plant
  • Harvested, dried at low temperature and packed in Auvergne

Dried lemon balm should remain a plant-based treat or complementary food. It does not replace hay, which must remain the basis of the diet for rabbits and small herbivores.

A naturally fragrant aromatic plant

Lemon balm is an aromatic plant known for its gentle, lemony scent. In the diet of small herbivores, it can be used to occasionally enrich meals, add a new leafy aroma and make hay more appealing.

At Merlin&Cie, it is offered in a simple form: a dried plant, with no unnecessary mix, carefully prepared to preserve its natural character. It fits easily into a rotation of dried plants, alongside other botanicals such as plantain, dandelion, bramble leaves or raspberry leaves.

How to feed dried lemon balm

Dried lemon balm can be given by hand, mixed with hay or hidden in a suitable foraging toy. Its gentle leafy scent can encourage a rabbit or small herbivore to search, sort and nibble, while enjoying a natural tasting moment.

As with any new dried plant, it is recommended to introduce it gradually, in small quantities, so that you can observe your pet’s tolerance.

  • Adult rabbit: 2 to 5 small dried leaves, a few times per week, depending on size.
  • Guinea pig: 1 to 3 small dried leaves, a few times per week.
  • Chinchilla and degu: 1 small dried leaf, occasionally.

Offer alongside hay and a balanced diet. Does not replace hay. Introduce gradually.
