JR Farm Mini Meadow Play Balls are small, natural play and chew balls made of untreated willow. The balls are light, round, and easy to move, allowing your animal to roll, push, pull, investigate, and chew on them.
These willow balls are especially nice for owners looking for simple, natural enrichment for the enclosure. You can place them loosely, mix them in with the bedding, or use them in a foraging corner. Some animals roll with them, others nibble on them or use the ball as a small part of their decor.
At DRD, when it comes to toys and chewing materials, we focus primarily on natural use: can your animal be occupied with it, does it fit safely in the enclosure, and does it encourage exploration? These mini meadow play balls are small, natural, and versatile, making them easy to combine with other forms of enrichment.

These mini willow balls are ideal when you want to add a small, natural activity to the enclosure. They take up little space but give your animal something to explore. A ball can be pushed, moved, sniffed, nibbled, or taken to a favorite spot.
Willow is a popular natural gnawing material. The braided structure makes the balls interesting, because your pet doesn't just get a smooth piece of wood, but a small object with openings, edges, and various gripping points. That makes it extra fun to pull on and nibble.
For hamsters, dwarf hamsters, mice, and gerbils, the balls fit nicely into a natural setup with bedding, tunnels, cork, and foraging spots. For rats and dwarf rats, the balls can be used as lightweight gnawing and play elements in a Ratscaping setup. For guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, they are particularly suitable as small willow gnawing balls.
You can also use the balls to make snack time more fun. For example, place a small, matching treat, a sprig of herbs, or a piece of dried plant material between the openings. This way, your animal has to search, and a simple ball immediately becomes a small foraging activity.
JR Farm Mini Meadow Play Balls are suitable as natural play and chew balls for rodents and rabbits. Always adjust usage to the size, strength, and play style of your animal.
Place one or more play balls loosely in the enclosure. You can place them in an open area, near a tunnel, in a foraging corner, or partially hidden in the bedding. This way, your animal can find, move, and use the ball itself.
Do you want to make the ball extra interesting? Then put a small amount of suitable treat material between the openings. Think of a piece of dried vegetable, a small sprig of herbs, or another snack suitable for your pet. This way, the ball becomes not only a toy but also a simple search activity.
The balls may be nibbled on. Check them regularly and replace a ball when it has become severely damaged, dirty, or unattractive. For enthusiastic gnawers, a ball may be used up faster; this is normal for natural gnawing material.
The package contains 3 mini willow balls. This allows you to offer them all at once or use them spread out.

veel kleinder dan verwacht maar de konijnen hebben er plezier mee gehad
Cavia's vinden ze erg leuk
Staat leuk in het hok van mijn hamster en past ook heel goed in aan natuurlijk- of paasthema. Echter... kijkt mijn hamster er niet naar om
Dit is echt n geweldig speeltje...ik stop er een pinda of n stukje noot in en mn hamster rust niet voor ze het te pakken heeft. Nadeel is wel dat ze dan het balletje kapit knaagt waardoor je het daarna weg kunt gooien maar ach ..ook dat is weer goed voor haar tandjes..
