I wanted to get him something healthy that would keep him strong. He seemed to love this little mineral bloc..."
"My Bunny is 5 and has never had one of these but i thought she might like it because she loves to lick feet after the gym ....but she wasnt interested, i tasted it to see if it was salty but it tasted like plain plaster no salt so either its a rip off not a salt lick or something."
