Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What ingredients are in the Oxbow Timothy Carrot Lollipop, and are they safe?

Ans: Contains kiln-dried apple wood stick, tapioca starch, North American Timothy hay, and dehydrated carrot. All ingredients are 100% natural, pet-safe, and free from artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives for wholesome chewing enrichment.

Q2: Which small animals can safely enjoy this Timothy Carrot Lollipop treat?

Ans: Designed for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and mice. Supports natural chewing behaviors and dental maintenance across all species. Always supervise during initial introduction to monitor chewing habits and ensure safety.

Q3: How does Timothy hay in this treat support digestive health in small pets?

Ans: Timothy hay provides 30%+ fiber, promoting healthy digestion and preventing gastrointestinal stasis. High-fiber content keeps the digestive system moving smoothly, preventing bloating and other serious digestive issues common in herbivores. Essential for gut health maintenance.

Q4: Is the kiln-dried apple wood stick safe for pets to chew and consume?

Ans: Yes, kiln-dried apple wood is completely pet-safe for chewing and small consumption. Provides natural dental benefits through abrasive chewing action. Ensure wood is untreated, pesticide-free, and sourced from safe apple trees without chemicals.

Q5: How often should I offer the Timothy Carrot Lollipop to my small pet?

Ans: Offer one lollipop every 2-3 days for enrichment and dental health. Rotate with other Oxbow Enriched Life chews for dietary variety. Treats should not exceed 10-15% of daily caloric intake to maintain balanced nutrition.

Q6: Do dehydrated carrots provide nutritional benefits or pose choking hazards?

Ans: Dehydrated carrots provide fiber, vitamin A, and beta-carotene, supporting vision and immune health. However, they're high in natural sugars, requiring moderation. Monitor pets during chewing to prevent choking; remove any large pieces immediately.

Q7: How does this lollipop promote dental health and prevent overgrown teeth?

Ans: Continuous chewing on apple wood and hay naturally wears down constantly growing teeth, preventing overgrowth, spurs, and painful malocclusions. Coarse texture provides essential abrasive action, maintaining proper tooth length and alignment throughout the pet's life.

Q8: Can this treat replace my pet's daily unlimited timothy hay requirement?

Ans: No, treats supplement but cannot replace unlimited daily timothy hay. Timothy hay should comprise 75-80% of the diet for proper digestion and dental health. This lollipop provides enrichment; loose hay remains an essential foundation for healthy nutrition.

Q9: Where are Oxbow Enriched Life products manufactured, and what quality standards apply?

Ans: Oxbow partners with facilities in the United States and China, meeting rigorous safety and quality standards. All products undergo testing for pet safety, durability, and nutritional integrity before distribution to ensure premium quality enrichment.
