Why gnawing stones and gnawing rolls are important

Chewing stones and chew rolls are essential for the health of rodents and ferrets. These animals' teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, and without proper wear, dental problems can develop. A good chewing stone helps to keep their teeth short and healthy in a natural way.

Support for health

Besides promoting dental care, many chew stones or rolls also contain important minerals such as calcium and sodium. These contribute to strong bones and good metabolism. Young animals, pregnant or lactating females, and animals recovering from illness particularly benefit from these extra nutrients.

A complement, not a replacement.

It's important to know that a gnawing stone or gnawing roll is a supplement to the daily diet. Always provide sufficient hay, balanced kibble, and other gnawing materials such as branches or wooden toys. This keeps your pet active and healthy – both physically and mentally. Also discover our rodent toys for extra distraction and enrichment.

Placement in the accommodation

Chewing stones or rolls come in various shapes and sizes. Choose a model that suits your pet and its enclosure. Many stones have hooks or holders so you can easily attach them to the bars. This prevents them from falling to the ground or getting dirty. Also check out our rodent cages for indoor and outdoor use, where chewing stones can be easily combined with other accessories.

Suitable for which animals?

Chewing stones are suitable for, among others, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, gerbils and sometimes even ferrets. Always pay attention to the composition when purchasing and adapt your choice to the species and needs of your animal. Want to know more about suitable nutrition?
