Care tip of the Month - March

If you have animals that like to graze on grass, such as rabbits or guinea pigs, never use weedkiller on your lawn and if you must use fertiliser then be careful to buy animal safe fertilisers and follow the instructions carefully. If you pick plants or cut branches for your pet, whether it is a rabbit, guinea pig, chinchilla, chipmunk, parrot or finch, and whether the plant is a branch, grass, dandelions, or leaves, make sure that you only pick plants that you know are safe, non-toxic, and have no pesticides, fertiliser or other chemicals on. Ideally, getting plants from your own garden or a friend's garden is the safest, just make sure that you know what you are picking. If you are at all unsure what it is or if it is chemical free, do not feed it to your pet.
