You can order chinchilla gnawing material quickly and easily at DRD Rodent Shop®
Gnawing materials are a fundamental part of a chinchilla enclosure. Chinchillas naturally have a strong urge to gnaw and explore. With the right gnawing materials, you can offer activity, variety, and natural enrichment – and you'll help make the enclosure more interesting. In this category, you'll find a carefully selected range of gnawing wood, roots, natural sticks, gnawing stones, and foraging products suitable for chinchillas. At DRD Rodent Shop®, we consciously choose materials that are pleasant to use, compatible with natural behavior, and practical for daily maintenance. We've been specialists in rodents and chinchillas since 2011, and that experience is reflected in a range that isn't just a one-size-fits-all approach, but truly tailored for practicality.
Natural branches and wood types such as willow, apple, pear, hazelnut, birch, beech, and coffeewood. Ideal for daily gnawing and for varying textures and sizes.

Clay/loam brick and (lava) gnawing stones provide additional gnawing options. These are useful for variety and provide a substantial challenge in the enclosure.

Always offer several chewing options at once: for example, one chewing stick, one "solid" option (carrot or stone), and perhaps an enrichment product. Alternate weekly to keep things interesting. Place chewing materials in different locations (platform, bedding, near hay/foraging area) so your chinchillas can explore naturally.
✔ Choose natural materials (wood/root) as a base
✔ Vary in thickness, structure and shape
✔ Combine gnawing with foraging enrichment
✔ Replace when worn or dirty
Check gnawing materials regularly for splinters, sharp edges, and loose parts. Choose products that are sturdy and appropriately sized. Introduce new items calmly and keep the enclosure uncluttered, so your chinchilla can move around safely.
How much gnawing material does a chinchilla need?
Preferably always several options at the same time: at least one piece of gnawing wood and one variation option (carrot/stone/enrichment).
What is useful for a chinchilla that destroys “everything”?
Choose sturdy gnawing wood (such as thicker branches or coffeewood) and combine it with enrichment, so that gnawing remains targeted.
What do you use chinchilla gnawing material for?
Chewing materials provide your chinchilla with a natural outlet for chewing and exploring. They help prevent boredom, make the enclosure more dynamic, and support enrichment-oriented design (especially when combined with hay and forage products).
Hygiene & storage
Store wood and herbal products dry and clean. Replace any gnawing items that have become wet or heavily soiled. Gnawing stones can be brushed or cleaned according to the product instructions. A regular "rotation routine" (e.g., weekly) keeps the enclosure fresh and organized.
