Why They Love It

 Animals pick, chew, and forage through the paper twist. Every time a new part of the paper is untwisted a treat is accessible. Smaller animals can play tug of war.  Neighboring cage mates can also interact with this together, if woven in-between two cages. These paper twists are made of repurposed brown paper insert of rodent feed bags.
