Cotton Branches with Bulbs

Cotton Branches with Bulbs

These nice branches with whole cotton balls can be used as decoration for hamsters, but also as nesting material. In the latter case, the small rodents have to disassemble the cotton balls themselves to make a nest. The branch is supplied complete including 6 whole cotton balls of 3-4 cm.

✔ Beautiful deco in a scape
✔ Challenge for the animals to get the bulbs off the branch
✔ Pluck out to use the cotton as nesting material
✔ Wonderfully soft, warm with fragile fibers

The branches of the cotton plant are quite sturdy, so mice can even climb in them if you secure the branch well in the enclosure.
