Guinea pigs are true rodents: gnawing and nibbling are part of their daily routine. With dried branches and stems, you can provide safe, natural gnawing wood that's perfect for wearing down teeth and encouraging foraging.
Add a few stalks to the hay, hide them in the enclosure, or alternate them with other structures. This way, you offer your guinea pig a meaningful activity and support their natural urge to chew and explore. The basics always remain: guinea pig hay , appropriate guinea pig food , and clean drinking water. Specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011 .

Why give dried branches and stems?
Sticks and stems are an easy way to add natural gnawing material . They reflect common guinea pig behaviors: searching, picking, nibbling, and "working" for food. By offering a variety of textures, you can make the enclosure more interesting and help satisfy their gnawing urges in a pleasant way.
Teeth wear: why gnawing wood helps
Guinea pigs enjoy chewing on fibrous, sturdy materials. Gnawing wood such as dried branches and stems is a good fit for this and can contribute to natural tooth wear through regular chewing. Always combine this with unlimited hay , as hay is the foundation of their daily chewing and eating habits.
Which branches and stems suit your guinea pig?
Choose based on texture and preference . Some guinea pigs prefer softer stems, while others prefer firmer sticks to nibble on longer. Start with one product and then add something new; this way you can easily see what your guinea pig likes. Want more variety? Combine with dried guinea pig leaves or dried guinea pig flowers .
How do you offer branches and stems?
Provide branches and stems as a supplement : place a few loose pieces, tuck them partially into the hay (foraging effect), or combine them with enrichment. It's best to give small portions and refresh them regularly to keep the hay clean and appealing.
Hygiene & storage
✔ Store in a dry, cool and closed container (aroma and texture will last longer).
✔ Remove wet/dirty bits (urine/water → less fresh).
✔ It is better to change small portions more often than one big pile.
