The vine can be used in a scape to shape the landscape in the enclosure and give it height. The vines can also help to wear down the teeth. If the animals need to gnaw, they can gnaw on the thick vine to wear down their teeth and they will not gnaw on other parts of the enclosure.

The vine therefore fulfils several functions:

✔ The vine provides fun for rodents that can climb over it
✔ The vine provides gnawing pleasure when the animals need to gnaw
✔ The vine has a decorative function and adds height to the interior

The winding shapes of vines not only provide gnawing fun, but can also serve as a visual stimulus for curious rodents. They can use the vines to explore and play.

Is the vine suitable for Hamsterscaping!

Yes, absolutely! We believe that the vine should not be missing in Hamsterscaping! Within hamsterscaping it is important to furnish the enclosure naturally on the one hand, but on the other hand there must also be hiding and sheltering possibilities for the animals. The branches not only have a beautiful natural look, but they also provide extra hiding and sheltering places for small rodents.

For climbers, the vines can be placed in a more challenging way, for example for mice, Chinese dwarf hamsters and rats, the branches can be placed a bit more upright and leaned against the bars. In this way, the animals can climb over the branch to a higher part in the enclosure. The larger vines can be placed nicely into each other, creating a beautiful tangle of branches that the animals can walk through and over. However, it is always very important to place the branches in such a way that they cannot shift or fall over.

Is the vine suitable as gnawing material?

The vine is certainly suitable as gnawing material for rodents and rabbits. If the animals have a need to gnaw and there is nothing else to gnaw on, the wood of the vine is very suitable.

1. Taste: Vines often have a subtle woody taste that rodents and rabbits can appreciate. The natural taste can attract their interest and encourage them to nibble on the gnawing wood.

2. Durability: Grapevines can be quite durable and provide long-lasting gnawing pleasure. They are sturdy enough to meet the gnawing needs of the most ferocious rodents.

3. Variation in Thickness: Vines vary in thickness, making them suitable for different types of rodents and rabbits. Thicker parts offer more resistance for animals that enjoy a solid gnawing experience.

4. Natural Origin: Vines come from grape plants and are therefore natural and untreated.

5. Dental Care: Chewing on grapevines can contribute to the natural wear of the teeth of rodents and rabbits. This helps prevent dental problems and promotes good oral health.

Some rodents gnaw very actively on wood and others not at all. On the one hand it is a matter of taste, but on the other hand it is a matter of need. If a rodent has no need to gnaw because its teeth remain long due to food, hay or other nibbles, then it will gnaw less on wood. It is good to always offer natural gnawing material so that the animals can always gnaw when they have a need to gnaw.

Rodents use gnawing wood to wear down their teeth. Because rodents' teeth are always growing, they need to have something to gnaw on regularly so that they don't grow too long and crooked.

Has the vine been cleaned?

The vines come from the grape tree, they are dried and sandblasted. The sandblasting ensures that the irregular bark is smoothed out a bit more and that the branch is clean. The card of the vine is attached to the branch with staples, these staples can best be removed or hammered into the wood.
