Rats are smart, social, and above all, always busy. Gnawing is part of that. Not only because rats are rodents with continuously growing incisors, but also because gnawing and destroying is a way for many rats to explore, release tension, and create "projects" in their cage. In this category, you'll find responsible gnawing materials for pet rats, such as gnawing wood, harvest branches, and safe gnawing stones made from vegetables or clay.
At DRD Rodent Shop® , we keep things practical: clear types of gnawing materials, helpful tips for group use, and products suitable for rats in the home. Specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011.
Place several pieces of gnawing wood/branches so that your group can spread out and you have less "fighting over the best spot".

Combine gnawing with searching: hide a small portion of snacks between branches or in a play corner.

Create routes and spaces: hammocks + platforms + gnawing items = more activity and more rest moments.

Choosing rat gnawing material – quick selection guide
First, choose why you're offering gnawing material: (1) daily activity, (2) extra distraction during enthusiastic demolition, or (3) variety besides wood. Then, choose the form that suits your group.
1) For daily gnawing (basic)
- Rodent wood cut into several pieces/places works most practically.
- Place one piece at the resting area and one in the “action zone” of the cage.
2) For variety (texture & interest)
- Harvest branches are often extra interesting because of the structure and “work feeling”.
- Ideal in combination with climbing elements from Plateaus & ladders .
3) For variation besides wood (with care)
- Safe gnawing stones made of vegetables or clay are intended as an additional activity.
- See it as variety, not as a “must” in addition to a complete diet.
✔ Tip for groups: offer several smaller gnawing items rather than one “top piece” that everyone will be diving into.
What types of rat gnawing material can you find here?
In this category you will find gnawing items suitable for rats in the home and which you can easily use in cage furnishings and enrichment:
- Gnawing wood – for daily gnawing and demolition.
- Harvest branches – extra interesting to drag, strip and edit.
- Gnawing stones (vegetable/clay) – a variation on wood, great for “something different”.
Preferably combine this with a good base: rat food , a pleasant ground cover and sufficient resting places such as hammocks .
Why do rats like to gnaw so much?
For rats, gnawing is a mix of sustenance, relaxation, and activity. You often see that rats with enough "work" (gnawing, searching, climbing) are calmer in their enclosure. And just as important: rats like to choose for themselves. By offering a variety of gnawing options, you give them that choice.
Use & variation: how it works in practice
- Change small: replace 1–2 items per week (not everything at once).
- Create zones: one gnawing spot near the sleeping area and one near the play area.
- Prevent “gnawing stress”: distribute gnawing items over several places.
- Combine with foraging: sprinkle a small amount of snacks or herb/vegetable pellets around branches for extra searching work.
Checklist – rat gnawing material (practical)
✔ Offer multiple gnawing items (useful for groups).
✔ Combine wood + branches for variation in structure.
✔ Use gnawing stones (vegetable/clay) as a supplement , not as a replacement.
✔ Remove items that have become wet (hygiene).
✔ Keep the basic food leading: Rat food .
Safety
Check gnawing materials regularly for sharp edges or loose splinters and replace them as needed. Don't leave gnawing materials that have been wet for extended periods. If you suddenly notice abnormal eating behavior, persistent drooling, or rapid weight loss, contact a veterinarian. Not sure which choice is right for your cage or group? Choose several simple pieces of wood or branches and build up from there.
FAQ – rat gnawing material
Do rats always need gnawing material?
It's wise to always offer something. Not every rat chews with equal fervor, but it provides variety, keeps them occupied, and helps move gnawing to suitable locations.
What is useful with a group of rats?
Place several smaller gnawing items in multiple locations. This prevents one rat from claiming everything and keeps the cage calmer.
How do I combine gnawing material with cage furnishings?
Work with routes and zones: platforms and ladders , tunnels , and resting places like hammocks . Place chew toys in places where they like to "work."
