Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is this chew made of?

Ans: It's made entirely from natural, high-fiber Timothy hay pressed into a fun waffle shape. Since it's 100% edible, your pet can chew, nibble, or even eat parts of it without any concern. This makes it a safe choice for curious chewers.

Q2: Is this chew too hard for some pets?

Ans: It can be. Several rabbit parents have reported that this chew feels quite hard and that their rabbits walked away from it or seemed unwilling to bite down. If your pet reacts the same way, try a softer alternative like the Timothy Apple Slice.

Q3: How long will this chew last?

Ans: That depends entirely on your pet. Some pets take a while to work through this dense hay chew, while others may not engage with it much at all if they find it too tough. Check on it periodically and swap it if needed.

Q4: Can this chew be given to hamsters and gerbils?

Ans: Yes, this chew is suitable for hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. It's the same edible Timothy hay used across other Oxbow chews, just formed into a waffle shape, so it's a safe pick no matter which small pet you have.

Q5: How should I store this chew?

Ans: Keep it somewhere cool and dry so it doesn't pick up moisture or start to mold. Check it now and then, and toss it if it starts smelling off or looking discolored before offering it to your pet again for safety.

Q6: Is this chew safe for small pets to eat?

Ans: Yes, since it's made entirely from Timothy hay, eating parts of it is completely normal and safe, not a cause for concern. It's designed to be chewed, nibbled, and partially eaten as part of your pet's regular routine at any time.

Q7: Can this chew be offered alongside other Oxbow toys?

Ans: Yes, this waffle pairs well with other Enriched Life chew toys, giving your pet a mix of shapes and textures to explore. Rotating chews now and then tends to keep pets more interested instead of offering the same one every day.
