Block treat vitapol Vita Herbal Smakers wooden chew for chinchillas and degus 90 g, pack of 5

vitapol Vita Herbal Smakers wooden chew for chinchillas and degus is a set of five 90 g blocks designed to support dental wear and environmental enrichment for small rodents. Each block combines natural wood with herbal aromas and varied textures to encourage gnawing behaviour, helping to maintain healthy incisor length and provide stimulation within the cage. The product is intended for placement in the cage or attachment to cage bars as a chewable and foraging aid.

Advantages

The addition of herbal scents and differing textures increases interest and encourages activity, supporting behavioural enrichment. The compact rectangular shape and moderate weight make the blocks easy to position in different parts of the enclosure or to fix with simple fastenings. Packaged as five identical blocks, the set offers multiple replacements or distribution around the habitat.
