    All your questions answered

    What is the benefit of sowing vegetative seeds for my Small Animals?

    By growing crops specifically for your small animals, you can improve their nutrition, have happier Rabbits & Guinea Pigs. A varied diet provides enrichment and stimulation and is a valuable source of vitamins and minerals.
    Seed blends last far longer than purchasing vegetables for your aminals and will reduce their consumption of hay and feeds whilst grazing the vegetation.

    How do I know when my seed blend is ready for my furry friends to eat?

    The blend should be approximately 15cm to 20cm in height, with an established root system. Test by tugging on a plant; if it uproots, the sown vegetation is not ready for your hens. Once you can tug on a plant and not have it uproot, it will be ready for its first grazing. Monitor carefully to ensure you do not “overgraze.”

    How do I best manage my plants so they regrow back?

    The key is to not “overgraze.” Ensure that the plants don’t get too trampled or eaten right down to the base. Shorter periods on the vegetation will enhance the lifespan of the blend. Watering is strongly encouraged to keep the plants fresh, lush, and palatable. Please note that not all the varieties within the seed blend are designed to grow back and therefore may only last one or two grazings. However, if managed correctly, the blend should last you the entire year!

    Will the blend last all year round?

    The blend is designed to be grown all year round but will require watering.

    What size area will 950g sow?

    950g of the Pet Pasture blend is suited for 10m2. You can sow the blend more heavily for a lusher plantation. Sowing lighter than this recommendation will increase the possibility of weeds and is advised not to do so. For best results, sow the blend 10 to 20mm below the suedes and water immediately. Aim to water once a day for at least 1 week post sowing. Fertiliser is recommended but not essential.
