Stinging nettles use in chinchillas?

[greychins]

So as I'm going through all the boxes I brought home with the herd, most of the stuff I know what it is and what it's used for (ex. fenugreek, electrolytes, activated charcoal, so on...) but I have a bag here of "stinging nettles." Hmm. Never seen that before. Is there a use for this in chinchillas?

If not, what can it be used for (in humans, other animals...)?

ETA: it looks like dried crinkled up leaves, like it's a herb?

It can be given as a treat.

Thanks, I didn't know that! I learn something new everyday....

Not to hijack your thread, but what is fenugreek used for?

Fenugreek is used for lactating females to help with production of milk.

Fenugreek is supposed to help milk production or get the milk to come in.

Stinging nettle is a weed. I didn't know it was found around here, but it's everywhere in the UK. The plant produces an acid and if you rub against it, it "stings" you and boy does it hurt like a %*@#(%! But they make tea out of it and other stuff.
