Chew Sticks?

[DwarfGirl]

Do rabbits need or enjoy them?

 

[missyscove]

Mine definately enjoy chewing. Theydon't need the colorful sorts. Many enjoy wood from fruittrees. I got just some plain pieces of wood from petco thatthey like.

 

[DwarfGirl]

okay do they need to have them in their cage all the time for wearing down the teeth or is it just for fun?

I keep them available all of the time forkeeping the teeth trimmed. A cheap source of good chewingwood is the paint stir-sticks that home improvement stores give out forfree. Every time I'm in Home Depot I grab ahandful! The buns love them.

I have apple trees too and they love to chew on them. They usually eat the leaves off then strip all the bark off.

you can buy apple wood sticks. Mostwebsites that have bunny stuff have them. Some petstores also.
