Thumper's Kudzu Chips

A seasonal favorite! Deliciously crunchy, these dehydrated Kudzu Chips are a light, simple snack for your small pet.

RHDV2 worry-free! We are constantly staying up to date with the spread of RHDV2 and we are in an area that luckily has not been affected yet so you can be sure your Kudzu is 100% safe!

We've named these chips after our bunny-nephew and long-time beloved customer Thumper. Thumper passed away but his spirit will always stay with us. Kudzu was one of his favorite treats so we are honoring his legacy by naming them after him!

ABOUT OUR KUDZU CHIPS:

🌿 Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) is a climbing vine; the flowers and roots have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries.

🌿 Kudzu is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and helps ease digestion.

🌿 Kudzu is actually an invasive plant here in the Southeast so we like to think that bunnies are helping to save the world by eating it! 😜 We are so excited to be working closely with a local non-profit to help harvest much more kudzu this season. They "do not advocate for planting, rather we encourage harvest as a means for maintaining ecological harmony. Responsible harvest, especially targeting mature root crowns, prevents further growth and spread."

🌿 100% organic, non-GMO, vegan, cruelty-free; harvested from land with absolutely no pesticides or chemicals.

🌿 Packaged in 100% compostable bags.

🌿 VARIETY is vital for your small pet. As foragers, they would naturally eat all different kinds of herbs, flowers, barks, and grasses depending on what would be seasonally available. Dried leaves provide a natural, safe source of of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, fatty acids, and other micronutrients.

NET WEIGHT: 0.5 oz or 1.5 oz bag; please note that sizes of each chip may vary. Discoloration of leaves and brown spots are normal.
