Some hamsters gnaw a lot of gnawing material, others not at all. It is a matter of taste, but also a matter of need. If a hamster has no need for gnawing because the teeth stay well lengthed by the food or other nibbles, he will gnaw less gnawing material. It is good to always offer gnawing material so that the animals can always gnaw if they have gnawing needs. There are many different types of gnawing material. The most suitable is gnaw in the form of willow, lime and hazelnut. Do not use limestones or gnaws made from lime. These contain too much calcium and salts which burden the kidneys.
However, healthy gnaws are available in the form of cornstones.
Of course I also give my hamster gnawing material. I will show you which gnawing material I give my hamster.
