KayteePerfect Chews for Rats

I have 5 chew sticks that I got from Wal-Mart. They look like mini lincoln log sticks. My rats weren't chewing those that much, so I figured they'd like this toy. Within the first day of having it in their new cage (SuperPet My First Home For Exotics; amazing cage), they were chewing it.The other day, I saw one of their other chew sticks. They have chewed that one up practically to shreds; more so than this chew toy. I think the reason they didn't chew their first chew stick was they were kinda cramped in their old habitat (SuperPet My First Home Tank Topper; I don't love it, but it might be good for a smaller animal like a hamster or gerbil. The most annoying thing was the top not wanting to close, and when I finally got it closed it was loud and scared the crap out of my rats. They'd jump then duck down like they were taking cover. Somewhat funny, but still.. lol)So, my rats haven't chewed this nearly as much as they've chewed this other chew stick, but it's a nice design to their cage. It makes it look a little more fun. I'm not sure that rats need expert interior decor, but I know that they are smart and intelligent; a little more advanced and intelligent than a year or two old child, and children need toys and things to stimulate their minds. I am in no way saying rats are smarter than kids or humans, just that a full grown rat has the mentality of a 3 or older year old child, and that children younger than that need toys and stuff.I paid $4 and some change for this, a little more than the chew sticks at Wal-Mart, but I think this is pretty cool and they like it.

This is a very cute cage accessory/toy. My rats enjoy chewing on it and they also appear to wrestle with it from time to time. Very cute and worth the price.

My rat loves this toy. It’s durable and lasts.

This is well made and looks appealing, but my rattie just isn't interested in it.

My rats enjoy chewing on this and I can hang it from the side or top of the cage for enrichment. It won't last forever (obviously - it's a chew toy) but it serves its intended purpose.

I've been looking for this in stores for months, but could never find it. I have one for my hamsters, and they have all loved it, and I wanted one for my 2 rats. I was so happy when it came. I like that it hangs on the bars of the cage instead of lying on the ground, and I love that they say the name of the animal (like "Rat" or "Hamster"), that's one of the main reasons I bought them. I would definitely recommend these types of chews to any small animal owner, and I plan on getting more for all my hammies! :)

Cheaper here from pet supply places I've ordered from. My rats occasionally nibble on the blocks, but mostly ignore them. I see people mentioning these are made of pine. As they're sold as rat chews, I have to assume they're using kiln-dried white pine (which is safe, unlike other pine wood).

They loved it from the minute I gave it to them. Great toy!

Sieht gut aus und wird gerne angeknabbert.

Use to buy chewing wood and toys elsewhere before I found this one. My rats love to play with it. Ordered another one and will definitely buy more soon.

This is for my pet rat

Great chew toy! stick holding them together didn't last long. balls quickly chewed. My pet rats love this!

Our rats love these wooden chew sticks the best though we find them a little expensive compared to other wooden toys.
