🐰 Who is Mallow and Why is it So Important?

Mallow (Malva sylvestris) is a wild herbaceous plant widespread in meadows, along country paths, and at the edges of woods. It belongs to the Malvaceae family and is easily recognized by its pinkish-purple flowers and broad, soft, velvety leaves. In phytotherapy, it is considered one of the most valuable medicinal plants, thanks to its high content of mucilage, flavonoids, tannins, and vitamins.

But what's so special about rabbits?


🌱 The Benefits of Mallow for Rabbits

1. Soothing and digestive action

Mallow is known for its emollient and anti-inflammatory properties, which make it particularly useful for minor digestive disorders. The mucilage it contains helps protect the intestinal mucosa and promote proper digestive tract motility. This is important for rabbits, animals particularly susceptible to gastrointestinal problems.

2. Helps with constipation or loose stools

Thanks to its regulatory action, mallow can help maintain intestinal balance , both in cases of very hard stools and in those of soft stools, acting in a delicate but effective way.

3. Promotes hydration

Mucilage also has the ability to retain water , helping to hydrate the mucous membranes. In summer, or during drier periods, mallow can be a natural ally in preventing dehydration in rabbits.

4. Antioxidant and vitamin properties

Rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and flavonoids , mallow has an antioxidant action that helps strengthen the rabbit's immune defenses, protecting it from infections and external agents.

5. Soothing for the respiratory system

For minor colds, mallow can offer natural relief for the throat and respiratory tract, helping to calm any irritation.


🐇 How to Add Mallow to Your Rabbit's Diet

Ideally, mallow should be combined with hay , the essential foundation of any rabbit's diet. Hay makes up at least 80% of their daily diet and should always be available in their cage or designated area.

By offering hay enriched with mallow , you have the advantage of combining the nutritional value of the hay with the phytotherapeutic value of the medicinal plant, making the feeding experience more interesting, varied and beneficial for the animal.
