Highlighted Reviews

— Leslie

"I get these for my rabbits to chew on for the health of their teeth. They love them."

— ShanC

"Do not give this to all of the animals it is advertised for. Certainly not rats. It contains pine and alfalfa. Even if the pine is kiln dried the fact that the alfalfa and pine are mixed with honey will encourage rodents to eat wood pulp and hay!"

Bottom Line

This product is not safe for pets and is highly discouraged. Look for safer alternatives.
