A natural lotus play item from the Mix & Play Sling series. To sniff, gnaw on and explore. Read more.
Lotus is a water plant that is used in a lot of natural rodent toys. The material has a special texture that invites your pet to sniff and investigate. The Sling Lotus from the Esve Mix & Play range brings such a natural element into the enclosure.
Exploring is an important part of a rodent's life. In the wild they constantly search for food and investigate anything new. A new object in the enclosure triggers that behaviour. You will see your pet sniff carefully first, then taste and then start gnawing. Scatter a few dried flowers or herbs around it to make it extra interesting.
Hamsters and gerbils like to carry small bits to their stash or nest. Rats and degus gnaw on it vigorously. For dwarf hamsters and degus: no sweet treats as a reward, because they are sensitive to sugar. Natural toys may be destroyed. Replace the Sling Lotus when it is mostly gnawed up or has become wet and dirty.
