Why choose JR Farm Claystone?
JR Farm Clay Stone is a great choice when you are looking for a natural chew product that is just a little different from wood, hay, or a regular snack. The stone is sturdy, rich in minerals, and has a small topping that invites your pet to sniff, lick, and explore.
The base consists of natural clay. Clay and loam naturally have a mineral composition and a firm structure. As a result, your animal can lick or nibble on it without worry. The topping on top often makes the initial contact extra interesting, after which many animals continue to use the stone as needed.
The Blossom variant has a cheerful topping with marigold and rose blossom. The Herb variant has a greener, herbaceous topping with nettle, chamomile, rosehip, and peppermint. Both variants are compact, easy to place, and pleasant as a natural addition to the enclosure.
For which animals is the clay stone suitable?
JR Farm Clay Stone is suitable as a supplementary mineral stone for rabbits and various rodents. Adjust usage to the animal species, the size of the animal, and the normal feeding pattern.
- Rabbits: as a natural clay/loam stone to nibble or lick as needed.
- Hamsters and dwarf hamsters: as a small mineral stone to examine and occasionally nibble on.
- Mice and gerbils: as natural elements in the enclosure to discover.
- Rats and pygmy rats: as supplementary mineral stone and gnawing material.
- Degus and chinchillas: as natural mud bricks alongside hay and species-appropriate feed.
- Guinea pigs: only offer intentionally when suitable for the animal and its normal feeding pattern.
Usage & placement
Place the clay stone in a dry spot in the enclosure. Your animal can sniff, lick, or nibble on it on its own. Most animals start with the topping and then use the rest of the stone more calmly.
Check the stone regularly. If the stone becomes wet or dirty, temporarily remove it from the enclosure. If your animal suddenly uses the stone noticeably often, it is better to offer it for shorter periods and quietly monitor its usage.
Use the clay stone as a supplement alongside the daily basic diet. Hay remains important for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus. For other rodents, species-appropriate food remains the basis.
✓ How long does one clay brick last?
JR Farm Clay Stone weighs 100 grams. The duration of use varies by animal. Some animals use the stone mainly occasionally, while others are a bit more curious at first due to the topping.
| Usage | Average use | Use per stone |
|---|---|---|
| Quiet use | Occasionally lick or nibble | Several weeks to longer |
| More active use | Snack regularly | Depending on the animal and the placement |
This is a practical guideline. The clay stone is intended as a supplementary mineral stone, not as a daily snack portion.
