Zolux Gnawing Logs for Rodents, Hazel and Willow - Pack of 4

Zolux Gnawing Logs for Rodents is a banded bundle of four short hazel and willow logs, bark still on, sold for the one job a cage toy rarely does properly.

Key Benefits

• Hazel and willow, both named on the label, with the bark left on
• Four logs, cut from real branches, so the lengths and the thicknesses are not identical to each other or to the photograph
• Nothing added: no dye, no flavouring, no glue, no varnish
• Badged by Zolux for tooth care - the label reads regulation dentition
• Held by two elastic bands under a paper band, so it comes as a bundle rather than in a box

Good To Know

• A rabbit's and a rodent's incisors never stop growing. Something hard to work on is not enrichment, it is maintenance, and an animal with nothing to gnaw ends up at the vet having its teeth burred.
• Hazel and willow are both on the safe list for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus, hamsters and rats. Plenty of garden woods are not, so this is not a thing to substitute with a branch off whatever tree you have.
• Bark is where most animals start. A log that has been stripped bare and abandoned has done its job; it is firewood now, not a chew.
• Keep it dry. Wood that sits in the wet corner of a cage goes mouldy, and mouldy wood is not a treat - throw out anything that smells or shows a bloom.
• Wedge it between the bars rather than leaving it loose on the floor. A piece that holds still while an animal pulls at it gets used; one that rolls away gets ignored.
