"I have a senior rabbit and a senior guinea pig so it was a hard choice on who to give this toy to! I decided on my rabbit because she needed some more enrichment at that moment. She instantly starting nudging it with her nose and chewing it! She rarely ever plays with toys so this is a huge win!"

— Dudley

"Cute toy but they use glue to hold it all together; a lot of glue. Unfortunately not pet safe. Better to avoid."

Bottom Line

While pets seem to enjoy this toy, the use of glue and durability issues make it an average choice. Use with caution and supervision.
