FAQ

How much gnawing wood should I put in the enclosure?
It often works well to provide several pieces at a time (for example, 2-4) so your pet can choose. For smaller animals, you can offer smaller pieces.

Is gnawing wood mainly for “teeth” or for activity?
For many animals, it's both: gnawing is a natural behavior and it provides something to keep them occupied. That's why varying the gnawing material is so helpful.

Can I use this in hamster scaping or gerbil scaping?
Yes. Place one piece visible and half-hide one under the bedding or in the hay. This makes the enclosure more interesting without having to make many changes.

When should I replace gnawing wood?
If it has become wet, heavily soiled, or so frayed that it is no longer comfortable in the enclosure, replacing it will keep the enclosure fresh and organized.
