Chew toys and molar treats offer important health and behavioral benefits for rabbits and guinea pigs.
1. Dental Health
-
Prevent Overgrowth: Rabbits’ and guinea pigs’ teeth grow continuously (2–3 mm per week). Without proper wear, teeth can overgrow, causing pain, infections, or inability to eat.
-
Promote Natural Wear: Chew toys and molar treats help naturally grind down their teeth and prevent dental diseases like malocclusion.
2. Mental Stimulation
-
Prevent Boredom: Chewing gives them something engaging to do, especially in captivity where they don’t forage naturally.
-
Reduce Destructive Behavior: Bored rabbits or guinea pigs might chew inappropriate things (like cage bars, furniture) if they don’t have safe items to gnaw on.
3. Encourage Natural Behavior
-
Mimic Wild Behavior: In the wild, they constantly nibble and forage. Chew toys and treats encourage this natural and healthy behavior.
4. Stress Relief
-
Soothing Activity: Chewing can calm rabbits and guinea pigs, reducing anxiety, especially during environmental changes (e.g., new cage, travel).
5. Nutritional Supplement (for certain molar treats)
-
Our molar treats are made with Timothy hay that also provide extra fiber or micronutrients, supporting their digestive health.
