Organic UK Wood Pine Cones Pet Chew Toy for Rabbits, Guinea Pig, Rats, Hamster, Gerbils, and even pet Tortoises and Birds!
In order to prevent boredom and to help them have healthy teeth and gums, we need to provide our furry family with chew toys in a variety of shapes, sizes and textures. Pine cones are loved by rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, mice, hedgehogs, chinchillas, rats, and even pet tortoises and birds!
We forage these pine cones ourselves each season from UK natural open woodlands where they are guaranteed to be totally fresh (this season's) and entirely organic, because the woods are not "managed woods" (see our woodlands photo which shows where and how we collect our cones!) We hot wash them with organic apple cider vinegar which removes any wild viruses or bacteria, and the temperature of the wash also removes the phenols. We then rinse them off thoroughly and the slowly air-dry them for at least two to three weeks before packaging them up. We do all of this to ensure that they are perfect, clean and safe for your little ones to play with.
- These cones are available in size small (ranging from 2 to 4cm in height), in size medium (ranging from 3cm to 5cm in height) and in size large (ranging from 5cm to 7cm in height).
- Each pack contains an assortment of sizes across each range - though size distribution is not guaranteed and sizes are approximate
- Please see the photos of the cones in my hand so you can see the sizes.
- If you'd like to use some of your cones to make a hanging garland toy for your pets, you can also purchase a 1m (100cm) length of jute string, or a 3m (300cm) length, and also some hooks. Photo 6 shows seven medium cones tied onto a 1m length of string.
Our smaller pets, such as mice and gerbils also like to climb over them as well as nibble as they go. Our larger pets, such as rabbits and guinea pigs like to throw them around as they play and chew!!! Sometimes I keep all the cones inside a small cardboard box and later our own two bunnies, Benji and Gaia, have diligently distributed them around the room!
These cones are a natural product, so will not have uniform size, shape, colour or condition - there are variances - but our fluffy ones prefer variety anyway!!
Important note on health and well being: Please ensure this toy is suitable for your pet's health - being aware of any allergies they have or contraindications of any medication they may be taking. Also, always supervise and monitor your pet during play, and regularly check your pet's toys, removing and replacing them if damaged or if parts become detached which could be a choking hazard. Always seek immediate veterinary attention if you are concerned about your pet's health.
Storage instructions
If you don't plan to use these immediately, please store in a cool dry place. This is because natural materials can be prone to mildew if they get damp.
