New Product - Good Bite (Ferplast)

[Nela]

Hey guys,

Yesterday, we went to a pet store that has recently been sold to a different company and revamped. I was very intrigued when I came across a new product... The product is a new 'nibbling toy' made for 'rodents'.Apparently, itis not a food and is based on MODIFIED (non genetically) cornstarch so that it cannot be absorbed.

Anyone tried these yet? Any thoughts about the product? I bought some Apple ones for Crumble but have yet to give it to him.

I have had the sticks for my bunnies, and they ate them! I don't know if it would have caused harm but i haven't had them again, because i didn't know if they were supposed to eat them .

They are designed to be eaten but have no nutritional value They make them for dogs as well and the goal is to be able to provide the pets with teeth-wearing items without them being fattening. :biggrin:

I'd rather use sticks or other natural items for chewing, as THEY contain fiber while cornstarch doesn't. But if a rabbit was chewing on plastic etc, this might be useful in diverting him.
