Vitapol Vita Herbal hazel twigs for rodents and rabbits 50 g pack (4 pcs)

Vitapol Vita Herbal hazel twigs for rodents and rabbits 50 g pack (4 pcs) are natural chew sticks cut from hazel branches, supplied as four pieces with a total weight of 50 g. These twigs are designed to support natural gnawing behaviour in small pets, help wear down continuously growing incisors and provide mild foraging enrichment. The product contains only plant material from hazel and is intended as a complementary chew treat for hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits.

Advantages

The hazel twigs offer a simple, chemical-free chewing option that supports dental health by helping to reduce incisor overgrowth. Their natural texture and scent encourage exploration and gnawing, contributing to behavioural enrichment. The compact 50 g pack with four pieces is convenient for rotation in the cage and for offering fresh material regularly.

Suitable for

• Hamsters and gerbils that need regular gnawing opportunities
• Mice and rats as occasional chew enrichment
• Guinea pigs and rabbits for incisor maintenance and mild foraging
• Pet owners looking for a natural, plant-based chew alternative

When it may not be suitable

Not all small pets tolerate new types of chew material; animals with known allergies to hazel or other tree materials should avoid this product. The twigs are not a complete food and should not replace a balanced diet formulated for the specific species.

Key specifications

• Material: natural hazel wood
• Pack contents: 4 twigs, total weight 50 g
• Intended use: chewing and foraging enrichment for small mammals
• Suitable species: small rodents and rabbits

How to use

Place one or more hazel twigs in the pet’s enclosure where the animal can reach them safely. Monitor initial interactions to ensure the pet accepts the material and does not attempt to swallow large splinters. Replace twigs when they become very small, excessively soiled or brittle. Use the twigs alongside regular food, hay and species-appropriate enrichment to maintain balanced care.

What to consider before purchase

• Check for any known sensitivities or allergies to tree materials in your pet
• Measure cage space and rotation frequency to determine how many pieces you will need
• Ensure the twigs are offered as a supplement to, not a replacement for, the animal’s regular diet

Usage recommendations

Introduce hazel twigs gradually and supervise first uses. Rotate twigs with other safe chews and provide fresh hay and balanced feed to support overall dental and nutritional health.
