Highlighted Reviews

"Smaller than what I thought. I'm not good with dimensions without seeing it in person. Even though this tube is small, more for hamsters, I still gave it to my chinchillas. They enjoy chewing it and rolling it around with their noses. Just something fun and different for them to play with."

— RatMom

"The fluff used inside this tube used to be similar to Polyfil, fun and safe for rodents to dig through but still easy to clean up. But the filling now is some whispy almost cotton-like fur that goes everywhere. My little pet had thread stuck on its eyes."

Bottom Line

It’s advisable to avoid as the dental filling might lead to potential harm and medical complications to small animals. Alternatively, opt for safer, more robust, and hazard-free products designed for small mammals.
