Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How can I fold the Multi-Mat into a grass hut for my pet?

Ans: Gently fold the mat in half or create a tent-like structure by positioning the edges upward. The natural flexibility of hand-woven grass allows easy molding into hideout shapes your pet can enter, hide, and nest within comfortably.

Q2: Is the natural grass safe if my pet chews or eats the mat?

Ans: Yes, 100% natural hand-woven grass is completely safe and edible for small animals. Small amounts of ingestion during normal chewing are non-toxic and may provide beneficial fiber supporting dental health and digestion.

Q3: Which small animals can use the Ware Multi-Mat safely?

Ans: The Multi-Mat is suitable for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, and all small animals. The natural grass texture and flexible design accommodate various species and cage sizes appropriately.

Q4: How should I store the Multi-Mat to prevent mold and deterioration?

Ans: Keep in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and moisture between uses. Replace immediately if mold appears or the mat becomes damp, as mold can cause respiratory issues. Store unused mats in sealed containers.

Q5: Can the Multi-Mat be cleaned, or is it a disposable item?

Ans: While the natural grass material can be gently wiped with a dry cloth to remove debris, the mat is not washable. Once soiled, damp, or moldy, replace with a fresh mat. Regular replacement ensures hygiene and safety.

Q6: How often should I replace the Multi-Mat in my pet's habitat?

Ans: Replacement frequency depends on usage and conditions; active chewers may require replacement weekly or bi-weekly, while lighter users may enjoy longer durability. Replace immediately if mold develops or the mat becomes significantly soiled or wet.

Q7: Does the Multi-Mat provide hiding safety for prey animals like rabbits?

Ans: Yes, the grass hut structure creates secure enclosed spaces, reducing stress and anxiety in prey species. Dark, enclosed hideouts are essential for small animal wellbeing, helping them feel safe and comfortable throughout the day.

Q8: Can I use the Multi-Mat as bedding, or must it be supplemented?

Ans: The Multi-Mat works well as supplemental bedding and enrichment, but should be combined with absorbent bedding (aspen, paper-based) for moisture absorption and hygiene. Use a mat for enrichment and hideout alongside proper bedding material.

Q9: Is the natural, hand-woven grass durable enough for aggressive chewers?

Ans: The Multi-Mat works best for moderate chewers; heavy chewers may destroy it rapidly. For aggressive chewers, offer alongside more robust chew toys and replace mats more frequently. Monitor usage patterns, adjusting accordingly.
