We know how important it is to feel confident about what you’re feeding your little ones. Here are answers to some of the most common product-related questions.
What’s in your products?
You’ll find full ingredient lists on each product page, including our hay, food, herbal blends, and treats.

Still not sure what’s best? We always recommend checking with your exotic vet for personalized advice.
Are herbs like comfrey and kava kava safe?
Yes—in the amounts we use, these ingredients are safe for small animals.
Comfrey is used sparingly in our Zen Tranquility blend for its calming properties.
Kava kava is included in very small quantities to promote relaxation.
All herbal blends are made with food-grade, pet-safe ingredients and are vet-reviewed.
That said, every pet is different. If your vet has advised against certain herbs, we can help find an alternative.
What kind of marigold do you use?
We only use Pot Marigold (Calendula officinalis), also known as Common Marigold, which is completely safe for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small animals.
Calendula has natural soothing properties and is often used to support healthy skin and digestion. It adds a touch of color to our flower products, herbal blends, and bedding, all while being gentle and non-toxic.
It’s important to know this is not the same as garden marigolds (Tagetes species), which can cause irritation. We never use those varieties in any of our products.
Can I mix hay or feed types together?
Absolutely! Many pet parents combine:
Different cuts of timothy hay (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
Varieties like orchard, oat, and meadow
Different herbal blends
Mixing hay keeps things exciting and encourages natural foraging behavior.

What kind of honeysuckle do you use?
Our honeysuckle vine rings are made from 100% natural honeysuckle vine sourced from an organic, pesticide-free farm, selected specifically for small animal use.
We know honeysuckle can raise questions, so here’s what’s important to know:
- Honeysuckle berries can be toxic and are never used
- Our rings use the dried vine only, which is commonly used in small animal chews
As with any new chew or treat, we recommend introducing it slowly. Some pets can be sensitive to new items, and a gradual introduction helps keep their digestion on track.
If you’d like to learn more about how these are made and where the materials come from, you can check out the product page here:
