Product description

A stick treat that hangs in the cage rather than being handed over. That changes what it is for: a rabbit or guinea pig has to reach up, brace and gnaw at it, which takes time and uses the teeth, instead of a biscuit that is gone in four seconds.

It is built on grains and timothy hay, not on fruit. Wheat flour, oats, flaked oats and wheat middlings with ground timothy hay at 8.5%, then sugar, soya oil, dried apples at 1% (equivalent to 7% apples) and dried cranberries at 1% (equivalent to 7% cranberries), with colourants.

Ground timothy hay at 8.5%
Dried apples and cranberries at 1% each, each equivalent to 7% fresh
Suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas
Hangs in the enclosure; one a week

One a week, not one a day. These are much bigger than the baked biscuits in the same range and the feeding instruction is different because of it. The point of hanging it is that the animal works at it over days rather than finishing it in a sitting, so if yours strips it in an afternoon, hang the next one higher or use it as the week's enrichment rather than buying more.

Who it's for: owners of a bored rabbit, guinea pig or chinchilla who need something in the enclosure to occupy it, rather than another thing to hand over.

Why we chose it

Enrichment and a treat in one. A hanging stick that takes days to get through does more for a caged animal's boredom and teeth than a handful of biscuits does, and the timothy hay in it is the ingredient a rabbit actually needs more of.

Common questions

How do you use it?

You hang it in the enclosure. The animal has to reach and gnaw at it, which is the point: it occupies them and uses their teeth.

How often?

One a week, depending on the size of your pet, alongside their balanced daily diet and unlimited fresh hay.

What is in it?

Wheat flour, oats, flaked oats, wheat middlings, ground timothy hay at 8.5%, sugar, soya oil, dried apples at 1% and dried cranberries at 1%, with colourants.

What does "equivalent to 7% apples" mean?

The fruit is dried, so 1% dried apple is what you get from 7% fresh apple before the water is removed. The brand states both figures on the label.

Which animals can have it?

Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas.
