Gnawing Material for Rabbits – Responsible Gnawing Wood, Branches & Toys

Gnawing material for rabbits: tooth wear and enrichment

Gnawing material for rabbits is an important part of responsible rabbit keeping. Rabbits aren't technically rodents, but they do have continuously growing teeth. By providing suitable gnawing material daily, you support natural tooth wear and give your rabbit something to do.

Why does a rabbit need gnawing material?

• Supports tooth wear through chewing and nibbling.
• Enrichment and activity (less boredom in the enclosure).
• Helps prevent unwanted gnawing on bars, skirting boards or furniture by offering a suitable alternative.

Note: hay always remains the foundation. Many rabbits wear down a significant portion of their teeth through unlimited hay , supplemented with suitable gnawing material for added variety and challenge.

What types of gnawing material can you find in this category?

In this category you will find various types of responsible gnawing material, such as:

• Rodent wood and branches (e.g. willow, apple, hazel)
• Rodent toys made of safe wood or natural fibres
• Nibble rolls, balls and enrichment products that stimulate gnawing and foraging

Not every rabbit chews with equal fervor. That's normal: it depends on preference, needs, and the hay and food your rabbit is already eating. That's precisely why variety is helpful.

Safe gnawing wood: preferably not from the garden

We recommend not simply collecting gnawing wood and branches outdoors. Wood from the garden may have come into contact with pesticides, exhaust fumes, mold, or other contaminants. The gnawing materials at DRD Rodent Shop® are selected for their suitability for animals and intended for safe use.

Tips for use in the residence

• Offer multiple varieties and vary for continued interest.
• Store gnawing wood in a dry place and replace it when it becomes wet.
• Combine gnawing material with unlimited hay for a strong base.
• Make offering hay easier with a hay rack .
