Little One Hazelnut Branches - 7 Pieces

Little One Hazelnut Branches - 7 Pieces is a pack of seven dried hazelnut branches for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus and hamsters to gnaw on.

Key Features

• Seven branches: enough to keep one or two animals supplied for a while rather than a single stick.
• Hazelnut wood: a hardwood small pets take to, with bark left on.
• Tooth wear: back teeth grow continuously in rabbits and guinea pigs, and gnawing tough wood is what keeps them level.
• Something to do: a branch gives a caged animal a job, which cuts down on bar-chewing and boredom.

Offering A Branch

• Put one in at a time and leave it. A branch is not a portioned treat and most animals work at it over days.
• Take out the stub once it is chewed down to a short, sharp piece.
• A branch is also something to climb on and hide behind for the smaller rodents, so it is worth propping rather than laying flat.

Good To Know

• Check it before you give it. Dried plant material should feel dry and smell clean; anything that has gone soft or musty in the humidity here goes in the bin rather than in the cage.
• Keep the pack closed and dry, away from heat.
• Hazelnut wood is safe for small pets. Do not substitute branches cut from a garden unless you know the species and that it has not been sprayed; stone-fruit and many ornamental woods are not safe.
• Nut branches carry no nuts, so this is a wood chew rather than a fatty treat.
