Hand-Woven Timothy Hay Chew Twists
Product Description
Oxbow Timothy Club Timothy Twists are hand-woven chew treats made entirely from premium timothy hay, sized between 6 and 8 inches long. They can be placed throughout a habitat to add a chewable, edible activity to a small pet's day. Built without wires, thread, or chemicals, the twists provide dietary fiber while giving pets an outlet for natural chewing behavior.
Benefits
- Fully Edible Chew: Twists are 100% edible, so pets can chew and eat them safely.
- Supports Healthy Digestion: The fiber in timothy hay supports a pet's digestion.
- Chemical-Free Materials: Made without wires, thread, or chemicals, so pets can chew through the whole thing.
- Hand-Woven Craftsmanship: Each twist is woven by hand, giving it an irregular shape that pets enjoy chewing and exploring.
Material
100% Timothy hay.
How to Use
Directions for Use
- Distribute Throughout Habitat: Place several twists around a rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla's habitat so there's more to explore and chew on.
- Allow Free Chewing: Let pets chew the twists at their own pace, since the whole piece is safe to eat.
- Replace Once Consumed: Add new twists once the old ones are chewed through.
Additional Information
Precautions
- Supervise Initial Use: Watch your pet the first few times they chew on the twists to make sure they're chewing comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are Timothy Twists made from?
Ans: Timothy Twists are made from 100% timothy hay, hand-woven into a twisted shape with no wires, thread, or added chemicals. Because everything in them is edible, small pets can chew and eat the whole twist, down to the last bite, without anything needing to be pulled out or set aside first.
Q2: Which small pets can safely chew on Timothy Twists?
Ans: Rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas are the pets Oxbow specifically lists for Timothy Twists. Rats, hamsters, gerbils, and mice can also chew on them safely, since the treats are made from plain timothy hay with nothing species-specific added, so the same twist works across most small pets.
Q3: Are Timothy Twists appropriate for sugar gliders?
Ans: No, Timothy Twists aren't recommended for sugar gliders. They're made and marketed specifically for small herbivores such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas, whose digestive systems and chewing habits differ quite a bit from a glider's. Owners of other exotic pets should look for a chew made for their species instead.
Q4: Do Timothy Twists contain any wires or synthetic materials?
Ans: No. Every twist is hand-woven from timothy hay strands alone, with no wires, thread, or chemicals mixed in. That means pets can chew through the entire thing with nothing left behind to remove, unlike plastic toys that often need to be swapped out once they're damaged or chewed down.
Q5: How does chewing on Timothy Twists benefit a small pet?
Ans: Chewing on timothy hay adds fiber to a pet's diet and gives them something to gnaw on, which is a natural instinct for small herbivores like rabbits and guinea pigs. It also gives them something to do, especially on days when they're spending more time in their habitat than usual.
Q6: Where should Timothy Twists be placed in a habitat?
Ans: Placing several twists around the habitat works better than offering just one at a time. That gives your pet more spots to check, chew, and forage throughout the day, and it keeps them moving around the whole enclosure instead of camping out in one corner.
Q7: Do Timothy Twists need any special preparation before use?
Ans: No soaking, cutting, or prep needed. Just place Timothy Twists straight into the habitat from the package. It's a quick way to give your pet extra fiber. Toss a few in whenever you're refreshing the habitat, and your pet will have something new to chew on right away.
