Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What animals is this chew good for?

Ans: This one's made for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas specifically. It's meant to complement a balanced, hay-based diet rather than replace it, so think of it as a fun extra rather than a core food source your pet can enjoy alongside their usual routine.

Q2: Does this chew replace my pet's regular hay?

Ans: No, it's meant to add variety, not replace it. Your pet still needs a steady supply of loose hay for their regular diet, and this chew works best as an occasional extra alongside that rather than a daily staple on its own.

Q3: Why does this chew smell like flowers?

Ans: It's made with marigold and rose petals mixed into the hay, which adds a scent that tends to catch a pet's attention more than plain hay alone. Some pets take to it right away, while others need a bit of time to warm up.

Q4: How long will this chew last?

Ans: That depends on how much your pet chews through it day to day. Some pets nibble on it slowly over a week or two, while others go through it much faster and finish it in a day or so. Either way, keep a fresh one on hand.

Q5: Can this chew be tossed around like a toy?

Ans: Yes, the fun shape is light and easy for pets to nudge, bat, or toss, so it doubles as a bit of a play toy on top of being something to chew on. Some pets get just as much out of tossing it as chewing.

Q6: What should I do if this chew gets damp?

Ans: Take it away from your pet if it feels damp, smells musty, or shows any signs of mold, and don't offer it again until you've replaced it with a fresh one. Storing it somewhere dry from the start helps prevent this.
