Decorative, 100% natural grapevine branch of approx. 35 to 45 cm. To climb on, hide under and give the enclosure a natural look. Every piece is unique. Read more.
An enclosure that looks like a piece of nature: that is what scaping is all about. You furnish it with wood, branches, moss and hiding places, so your pet can climb, dig and hide. The Grapevine Globet fits right in. It is a decorative grapevine branch, 100% natural. Its twisted, winding shape instantly gives the enclosure a wild and natural character, and your pet gets a new piece of territory to explore.
Back Zoo Nature describes the Grapevine Globet as a great object to climb and scramble on. It also offers places to hide. That matters. Rodents are prey animals and quickly feel unsafe in an open space. A spot they can crawl under or behind brings calm. Put some hay or moss on top of the branch and a sheltered corner appears by itself. You also encourage digging and foraging, especially if you hide a few treats around it.
The branch is about 35 to 45 cm. Every piece is unique, so shape and size can differ from the photo. That length suits a spacious tank or a cage with a generous floor area. For a Syrian hamster, a pair of gerbils or a group of degus it is a great size to climb on and hide under. Rats like to use it as a climbing route, especially when you lean it against a level. Mice can scramble on it too. In a small dwarf hamster enclosure a branch of this length can take up a lot of space, so check whether it fits.
Place the branch firmly, so it cannot tip over or roll. Press the bottom slightly into a deep layer of Zooply bedding. That gives it grip and your pet can dig underneath. Scatter some hay or dried herbs around it and searching for food becomes an adventure. Combine the grapevine with cork, moss and other natural materials from our hamster scaping category. That way you build an enclosure full of height differences and hiding spots.
Your pet will gnaw on the branch, and that is perfectly normal. Chewing wood is what rodents do. Check now and then for sharp points or loose splinters. If the branch is chewed down too far or no longer stable, replace it. Brush off dirty spots while dry.
About 35 to 45 cm. As it is a natural product, every piece differs in shape and size.
Yes, chewing is normal. Degus gnaw a lot, so check the branch more often and replace it when too much has been chewed away.
Set the bottom into a deep layer of bedding, or lean it against the wall or a hideout. A stable base is important.
That depends on the size of the enclosure. At 35 to 45 cm it is a sizeable piece. It fits well in a spacious tank, but not in a small cage.
Yes, lean it at an angle against a level. Rats love to climb up along it.
