Do all rodents and rabbits like the Apple Tree Harvest?

Yes for sure! The Apple Tree Harvest falls under the harvest with leaves , which is different from harvest with seeds or harvest with herbs . The harvest with leaves is best suited as food for herbivorous (plant-eating) rodents (guinea pig, chinchilla, degu) and rabbit. These animals like to eat the leaves as a source of fiber and then nibble on the branches with the additional function of wearing down their teeth.

Granivorous (seed-eating) rodents, such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils and rats, are less likely to eat the leaves; they only do this when they need extra fiber. The apple tree harvest will mainly be used as an additional fiber source and as healthy gnawing material for these animals.

Is rodent wood important for rodents?

Some rodents gnaw wood very actively 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 are kept in good length through food, hay or other nibbles, it will gnaw less on wood. It is good to always offer natural gnawing material so that the animals can always gnaw when they need to gnaw.

Rodents use rodents to wear down their teeth. Because rodents' teeth are always growing, they need to be gnawed regularly so that they do not grow too long and crooked.

How long does the Apple Tree Harvest last?

This varies greatly for which animal you use it and what the animals' gnawing needs are.
