Hazel Branches – Barky Bliss, Straight from the Hedgerow
Let the wild in with this hand-cut, naturally dried bundle of Hazel branches – stripped of nuts and fuss, but packed with purpose.

Each 500g box is brimming with textured twigs and branchy bits – ideal for building chew stations, hiding nibbles, or simply watching your little ones unleash their instincts. Hazel is known for its safe bark, fibrous wood, and satisfying crunch – making it a small pet favourite for both teeth and brain.

Choose from soft-dried (more pliable, easier for smaller mouths) or fully dried (crispier, longer-lasting chews) to suit your setup and species.

Guinea pigs, rabbits, degus, chinchillas, tortoises, rats, mice, hamsters, parrots, chipmunks, and other enrichment-loving creatures.

📦 What You Get:

🥄 Feeding Guide – by Species:

🐹 Guinea Pigs:

  • Offer 2–3 twigs, 2–3 times a week

  • Great when poked into hay racks or scattered around pens

🐰 Rabbits:

  • Use as daily boredom busters – 3–4 sticks or a small bundle

  • Hang from enrichment frames or hide inside boxes for some DIY foraging

🐭 Rats & Mice:

  • Snap twigs and place near nesting zones or climbing spots

  • 1–2 pieces weekly help reduce cage-chewing and stress

🐿️ Degus & Chinchillas:

  • Offer 2–3 medium twigs twice weekly

  • Hazel helps encourage slow, deliberate gnawing – great for dental wear

🐢 Tortoises:

  • While not a food source, hazel branches are perfect for habitat climbing and terrain variation

  • Ideal for Mediterranean species that like things to nudge, shove or strip

🦜 Parrots & Parakeets:

  • Strip, snap, and hang! Hazel is safe, sturdy, and loved for bark-shredding

  • 1–2 medium twigs per week adds environmental variety

🐿️ Chipmunks & Exotics:

  • Use as tunnels, platforms, or chew-nooks in habitat setups

  • Replace weekly or rotate with other chews for mental stimulation

🌿 Tara’s Tip:
Hazel’s the perfect “in-between” branch — not too soft, not too hard — and ideal for crafting your own little enrichment stations. Try tying a few together with sisal, stuffing hay in between, or slotting dried forage in the bark grooves. Total enrichment gold.

💚 Straight from the GGT forage barn – where every chew is hand-selected, safe, and enrichment-approved.
