Natural Nibbles Healthy Salad Bowl

A treat that's also edible packaging is a neat trick, and a bowl made from palm leaf means there's nothing left to clear away once the contents are gone.

This is a 100% edible palm leaf bowl filled with a leaf mix and topped with dried fruit and vegetables — apple, carrot, rosehip, cucumber and beetroot, alongside nettle, dandelion and raspberry leaves. It analyses at 15% crude protein, 2% crude oils, 10% crude fibre and 9% crude ash.

On introducing it. The manufacturer's own advice is to bring dried fruit and veg into the diet gradually to avoid digestive upset, and to treat it as part of a balanced diet rather than a stand-alone feed — this isn't a complete food, so it shouldn't replace hay or a proper pellet ration.

Who it's for: owners of rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats or mice who want a treat with genuine variety — leaves, fruit and vegetables together — and like that the bowl itself is edible rather than something to bin.
