🌿 Why These Sticks Help

• Boredom breaker – shredding bark satisfies natural foraging urges and keeps cages calm Rabbit Hole HayBinkyBunny

🥄 How to Offer

• Rabbits & guinea pigs: 2–3 sticks daily; replace when whittled thin.

• Chinchillas & degus: 1 stick every other day.

• Gerbils, hamsters, rats & mice: 1 mini stick twice a week for enrichment.

• Parakeets & small parrots: thread 1 pencil-thin stick through bars weekly.

• Chickens & wild ducks: not needed—birds prefer greens and seed.

• Wild garden rabbits: safe; leave a few twigs in a sheltered spot.

• Hedgehogs & chipmunks: skip—sticks add little to insectivorous diets.

Always provide fresh water and remove splintered pieces promptly.

⚠️ Pain-killer Note

Willow contains natural salicin. Avoid feeding alongside vet-prescribed NSAIDs unless advised—double dosing can upset the stomach.
