Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are Ware Health-E Blocks made from, and are they safe?
Ans: Health-E Blocks are made from compressed timothy hay with animal-safe food dyes. They are formulated specifically for small animals and are non-toxic when chewed and consumed in normal supplemental amounts.
Q2: Which small animals can use Health-E Blocks?
Ans: These blocks are suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice, all of whom benefit from high-fiber hay and regular chewing for dental maintenance and enrichment.
Q3: How do Health-E Blocks support my pet’s dental health?
Ans: The coarse, crunchy texture encourages prolonged chewing, which naturally grinds down continuously growing teeth and helps reduce plaque accumulation, supporting healthier molars and incisors over time.
Q4: Can Health-E Blocks replace my pet’s regular timothy hay?
Ans: No. They are supplemental enrichment, not a hay replacement. Pets still require unlimited access to loose grass hay for core fiber needs, gut motility, and round-the-clock tooth wear.
Q5: How many blocks should I give my rabbit or guinea pig each day?
Ans: Offer one block per day as a supplemental chew, alongside unlimited timothy hay and a balanced pellet ration. Adjust frequency if your pet consumes blocks very quickly or shows digestive sensitivity.
Q6: Are the food colors in Health-E Blocks safe for my pet?
Ans: Yes. The colors are food-grade, animal-safe dyes widely used in pet products. They add visual appeal without introducing harmful chemicals or toxins when blocks are chewed and consumed.
Q7: How long does a 3-count pack usually last?
Ans: For a single rabbit or guinea pig receiving one block daily, a pack typically lasts about three days. Smaller pets like hamsters or gerbils may take one to two weeks to finish three blocks, depending on portioning.
Q8: How should I store unused Health-E Blocks?
Ans: Keep blocks in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. After opening, store them in an airtight container and discard any blocks that become damp, moldy, or insect-contaminated.
Q9: Can multiple pets share the same block?
Ans: Yes, multiple bonded pets can share a block, but monitor intake to avoid overconsumption and ensure all animals have equal access. In larger groups, offering separate blocks helps reduce resource guarding.
