Yes, the toy is made from 100% natural, untreated wood and cotton, making it safe for your pet to interact with and chew.
How often should I check the toy for damage?
It is recommended to inspect the toy regularly, especially if your pet is a strong chewer, to ensure it remains safe and intact.
Can I wash the toy with soap and water?
It is best to avoid washing the toy with soap and water. If cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure it dries completely before returning it to your pet's habitat.

Troubleshooting
Pet not interacting with the toy
Introduce the toy gradually. Try placing a small amount of bedding or a treat near or on the toy to encourage exploration. Ensure the pet's environment is otherwise comfortable and stimulating.
Toy pieces breaking off quickly
This is normal for persistent chewers. Monitor closely for small pieces and remove the toy if it becomes unsafe. Consider a more durable toy if your pet is a very aggressive chewer.
