Frequently Asked Questions
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 animals 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.” If unsure, contact Nesty Boxes directly.
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. For best results and to ensure longevity of plants, sow directly into soil or planter trays with soil. 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 many months to years.
Will the blend last all year round?
When planted in soil or trays with a soil bed, this blend contains an array of varieties to ensure you grow forage all year round but will require watering. Apply fertiliser every 6 to 8 weeks to encourage regrowth.
What size area will 950g of Pet Pasture sow?
950g of the Pet Pasture blend is suited for 10 to 20m2. 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 surface and water immediately. Aim to water once a day for at least 1 week post sowing. Fertiliser is recommended but not essential, check out the Nesty Boxes gardening range for suggested fertilisers.

- SHShaan h.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoPet pasture
Planted the seed two days ago and they are already starting to sprout 🌱 I have planted in a raised garden bed which I will make Guinea pigs safe for them to play and graze! Thank you for such a great product nesty box 🌱 🌱
- PBPhilippa B.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 months agoAmazing product
I am growing it in seedling trays so I can rotate them around. My buns love it and it makes it easier to give as a healthy treat rather than sugary fruit and veg which gives them tummy ache.
- CNChristine N.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5 minutes ago“Pet pasture” - for growing
This was an accidental purchase - I actually wanted “all poultry seed mix” (that I had grown from the mix sample) for my chooks. Not really wanting to encourage grass for rodents but still grown for the finches aviary… sprouts very well and in a few days. That that - this is 5 stars. But hoping it doesn’t act as food supply for rodents.
- MAMichela A. B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoOur Piggies Loved Foraging!
As a new Guinea Pig family, we have made sure to feed our two piggies the hay and vegetables that will keep them happy and healthy. I planted two trays with 'Pet Pasture Sowing Blend', and after a few weeks was able to offer them the first tray - many excited wheeks as they explored and nibbled away. A few days later and they demolished the second tray. I have started a rolling system of sprouting a couple of trays of seed, then sowing the next batch while the first ones get big enough to offer to Shortcake and Levi. As indoor guinea pigs I feel the natural foraging behaviour and nutrition offered is wonderful for them.
