Willow Twigs/Branches
All our willow branches are always freshly finished. They come from our own orchard with willows, quality and taste guaranteed!
Our willow branches are harvested straight from nature, with great care. As the trees are now in full growth and leaves are returning, it’s possible that a tiny insect might occasionally travel along with your order. No worries – it’s completely harmless and simply part of working with pure, untreated natural materials.
The branches are 25 - 40 cm long and always vary in diameter.
Why give willow branches? Willow branches are not only a delicacy for your sweetheart, they are also very healthy! They ensure good wear and tear of the teeth. Could possibly have an a pain relieving effect (if you give them several days in a row).
In addition, willow branches are also a good distraction and enrichment for your darling.
Willow branches remain a natural product the weights are always +/- as they are subject to their environment.
Willow branches can be eaten by rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas*, hamsters, gerbils, degus, mice, rats, horses,...
- As soon as your order has arrived or is available at the collection point, we would like to ask you to remove the branches from their packaging as soon as possible.
- Winter months: In a cool, dry place, you can keep the branches for up to about a month. After a month, the branches are still good but your darling may not eat them as quickly.
- Summer months: We recommend keeping the branches in a cool, dry place. In the summer months, the branches with leaves stay good for 2 weeks (this depends on the environmental factors in which they are stored). Keep in mind that the leaves can dry out faster, although the dried leaves can certainly still be given. The branches themselves will stay good for about a month, after a month it is possible that your darling won't eat so fast anymore. Are there any fluff on the branches? This can't hurt, it's the seed/flowering of the trees. Shake well and the fluff will be gone.
- We like to keep it pure nature and work without pesticides. It is therefore possible that a small insect may accompany your willow branches.
Merk je dat je lieveling plots heel veel takken gaat eten? Dan raden we aan om even langs een kundige dierenarts te gaan. Wilgentakken staan al van oudsher bekend om hun pijnstillende werking. Uit eigen ervaring, merken we bij dieren die plots een abnormale hoeveelheid takken eten ze toch opzoek gaan naar deze mogelijks pijnstillende werking. Bij meerdere dieren zijn we er zo kunnen achterkomen dat ze toch medisch ergens met een probleem zaten. Dit is geschreven puur uit eigen ervaring, als tip naar de eigenaar toe. Niet wetenschappelijk ondersteund.
* With chinchillas, opinions differ about whether or not to give fresh willow branches. Many owners let their branches dry. With fresh branches they could get stomach problems.
