Long Willow Branches for Rodents & Rabbits 100 g
Long Willow Branches Chewing Wood is natural chewing wood for rodents and rabbits. The branches are approximately 20 cm long and have the recognizable willow structure: a crunchy bark with a softer core. This makes them fun to explore, hold, move, and nibble on.
Willow branches are especially great for owners looking for simple, natural, and versatile gnawing material. You can place the branches loosely in the enclosure, distribute them throughout the hay corner, or use them in a natural setup. At DRD, when it comes to gnawing material, we focus primarily on what your animal can do with it: sniffing, picking, dragging, nibbling, and engaging at their own pace.
The package contains approximately 100 grams of willow branches about 20 cm long. How quickly the branches are consumed depends on the animal species, the number of animals, and how actively your animal engages with wood. Some animals gnaw enthusiastically immediately, while others primarily investigate the branches first or use them as part of their enclosure.

Why choose willow branches?
Willow wood is a popular choice for animals that enjoy interacting with natural materials. The branches have a fine texture for exploring and working with. Some animals pick up a willow branch immediately and start nibbling on it, while others prefer to move, keep, or use the branches as part of their decor.
For small rodents, you can place the willow branches between bedding, hay, or other natural materials. For larger animals such as rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, you can offer multiple branches at once as a gentle gnawing and foraging stimulus.
Use the willow branches as a natural addition to the enclosure: for nibbling, exploring, moving, and for more scent, texture, and variety.
For which animals are willow branches suitable?

Use & offer
Place one or more willow branches loosely in the enclosure. You can also place them in the hay corner, stick them through the bedding, or distribute them across different spots. This way, your animal has to search, and a gnawing moment immediately becomes a small activity.
Do you want to make the branches extra interesting? Then combine them with hay, herbs, leaves, tunnels, or other natural materials. In a hamsterscaping, gerbilscaping, or ratscaping setup, willow branches provide extra structure and a natural look.
Not every animal gnaws on wood with the same level of activity. That is perfectly normal. Investigating, moving, storing, and returning to a branch later are also part of natural use.
✓ Usage & consumption
Long Willow Branch Chewing Wood contains approximately 100 grams. The lifespan depends on how many branches you offer at once and how actively your animal chews on them. View the table as a practical guideline, not as a fixed dosage.

What makes willow wood interesting?
Willow wood has a varied structure. The bark gives your animal something to nibble and peel, while the core is softer than many harder types of wood. As a result, many rodents and rabbits find willow pleasant to explore.
The long branch shape makes this item practical to use. You can offer the branches loose, place them in the hay corner, tuck them in between bedding, or use them as a natural accent in the setup.
