It's fibrous, untreated, and supports the kind of continuous gnawing that keeps constantly growing teeth in good condition. If your pet demolishes it completely, that's the enrichment doing exactly what it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat's the difference between a grass ball and a hay toy?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHay toys tend to be looser and more about foraging - hiding things inside, pulling strands out. A woven grass ball is denser and more about physical interaction - rolling, batting, carrying, chewing through the structure itself. They do different things for an animal's brain, which is why having both in rotation is worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWill my small animal actually play with it, or just ignore it?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost won't ignore it for long. The texture and the movement are genuinely interesting to animals wired for investigation - the unpredictable roll of a ball across a hard floor is exactly the kind of low-stakes surprise that keeps curious animals engaged. That said, some pets take a day or two to warm up to something new, which is completely normal. Leave it in their space and let them come to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhich animals is this suitable for?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRabbits and guinea pigs will get the most physical use from it given the size, but degus, chinchillas, and rats will find it equally worth investigating. For smaller rodents it doubles as something to push around and hide behind as much as something to chew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Pet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62699469078915,"sku":"HAPP-31045","price":6.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0249\/3501\/files\/Nature_First_Grassy_Ball.jpg?v=1790331848","url":"https:\/\/barksandbunnies.co.uk\/products\/nature-first-grassy-ball","provider":"Barks \u0026 Bunnies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
