Is gnawing wood important for rodents?

Some rodents gnaw very actively on wood and others not at all. On the one hand it is a matter of taste, but on the other hand it is a matter of need. If a rodent has no need to gnaw because its teeth remain long due to food, hay or other nibbles, then it will gnaw less on wood. It is good to always offer natural gnawing material so that the animals can always gnaw when they have a need to gnaw.

Rodents use gnawing wood to wear down their teeth. Because rodents' teeth are always growing, they need to have something to gnaw on regularly so that they don't grow too long and crooked.
