Why They Love It

Rabbits love to root, chew, run and make noise! Hanging carrots give them the perfect opportunity to exhibit those natural behaviors. The chain is embedded into a large carrot and hung inside the cage. While trying to chew all of the carrot, the chains rattle the cages! Make sure chains are no longer than 3 links long due to prevent any injuries.

Sanitation

Place chains through tunnel washer weekly for re use.
