Horn-shaped play and chew item from the Mix & Play Sling series. Brings variety to your rodent's enclosure. Read more.
The Sling Horn is part of the Esve Mix & Play range, which is designed to combine play, discovery and gnawing. This item is shaped like a horn. Such an unusual shape makes a rodent curious. It walks around it, sniffs it and tests with its teeth what it is.
Variety is one of the most important things in the life of a rodent in an enclosure. The same toy becomes boring after a while. A handy habit is toy rotation: remove one item every week and put something else in its place. After a few weeks the old toy returns and feels new again. The Sling Horn is a nice addition to such a rotation.
Gnawing is part of it. Rodent teeth keep growing for life, and toys they are allowed to gnaw keep them busy. Place the horn where your pet often passes, for example at the entrance of the hideout or next to the food bowl. Check it regularly and replace it when it is gnawed too far or sharp bits appear.
The Mix & Play range is designed for rodents. Check on arrival whether the size suits your pet: a rat or degu can handle bigger toys than a mouse or dwarf hamster.
Yes, gnawing is exactly what rodents do with toys like this. Do check it regularly for sharp edges.
Swapping one item a week works well. It keeps the enclosure interesting without giving your pet a completely new environment every time.
