Oxbow Animal Health Enriched Life Small Animal Apple Twig Tree Treat Hanger

An Apple Wood Tree for Foraging and Fresh-Greens Enrichment

Product Description

Rabbits and guinea pigs are natural browsers, foraging and nibbling their way through greenery all day, given the chance. Oxbow's Apple Twig Tree recreates that experience indoors, using a base of natural apple sticks that pets can gnaw on or pull free entirely. You can also hang fresh veggies or greens from the branches for their pet to find and nibble on.

Benefits

• Natural Apple Sticks: These sticks are made from real apple wood and are safe for pets to chew on daily.
• Customizable Stick Count: Add more apple sticks for pets that chew a lot, or use fewer for a simpler setup.
• Fresh Greens Display: The branches double as a place to hang veggies or greens, giving your pet something to search out and nibble on.
• Easy Assembly: Snap the base and sticks together in seconds, then pull them apart just as fast when it's time to store it away.
• Compact Habitat Fit: Coming in at roughly 5 inches wide and 6 inches tall, this toy slips into most small cages without crowding anything else.

Materials

Untreated, all-natural apple wood sticks and base.

How to Use

Usage Instructions

• Assembly: Insert as many apple sticks into the base as you'd like to build the tree shape.
• Hanging Greens: Vegetables or leafy greens draped over the branches give your pet something to find.
• Placement: Put the tree somewhere flat and steady, close enough for your pet to reach easily.
• Storage: When you're not using it, pull the top off the base and tuck the pieces away.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Monitor Multi-Pet Use: If more than one pet shares the habitat, check the tree's stability now and then.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What exactly is included with the Apple Twig Tree?

Ans: The set includes a base along with natural apple sticks that insert into it to form the tree shape. You can decide how many sticks to use at once, giving some flexibility in how full or sparse the finished tree looks inside the habitat.

Q2: Can I use this toy to feed my pet fresh vegetables?

Ans: Yes, the branches are designed so you can hang fresh veggies or greens directly from them, turning a routine feeding into a small foraging activity. This encourages pets to work a little for their food rather than simply eating from a bowl.

Q3: What is the Apple Twig Tree made from?

Ans: The tree is made from untreated, all-natural apple wood, used for both the base and the sticks. Since it's chew-safe by design, rabbits and guinea pigs can gnaw on it daily without exposure to treated wood, dyes, or added chemicals, making it a natural fit for regular foraging behavior.

Q4: Can I adjust how many apple sticks are used in the tree?

Ans: Yes, the stick count is fully customizable to match your pet's habits. Add more sticks if your pet chews frequently and goes through material quickly, or use fewer sticks for a simpler, more minimal setup if your pet is a lighter chewer or the habitat has limited space.

Q5: How do I take the Apple Twig Tree apart for storage?

Ans: The apple sticks and base are designed to snap together for quick assembly, letting you build the tree shape in seconds. When you're ready to store it, the pieces pull apart just as easily, with no tools required for either putting it together or breaking it down.

Q6: Is the Apple Twig Tree safe to use in a multi-pet habitat?

Ans: It can be used where more than one pet shares a habitat, but the tree's stability should be checked periodically since added activity can cause it to tip more easily. It's also a good idea to replace the apple sticks once they're chewed down to nubs to keep the toy safe and effective.
