FAQs: Trixie Natural Living | Small Pet Enrichment | Bendy Bridge

Q1: What animals is the Trixie Natural Living Bendy Bridge suitable for? A1: The Trixie Natural Living Bendy Bridge is ideal for a variety of small pets, including hamsters (Syrian, dwarf), gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus, and rats. It comes in various sizes to accommodate different species, so be sure to choose the appropriate size for your pet.

Q2: What is the Bendy Bridge made of, and is it safe for my pet to chew? A2: The Trixie Natural Living Bendy Bridge is made from safe, untreated natural wood. Trixie emphasises using softwoods without resin channels, as resin can be toxic. The wood is thoroughly dried, and the glue used is non-toxic for animals, making it safe for your pet to chew and gnaw on, which is essential for their dental health.

Q3: How can I use the Bendy Bridge in my pet's habitat? A3: The flexible design of the Bendy Bridge allows for incredible versatility! You can shape it into:

• A bridge for climbing and crossing.
• A ramp to access different levels of their cage or platforms.
• A tunnel for burrowing and exploring.
• A cosy hideaway or arch for them to rest and feel secure underneath.
• A wall to create mazes or separate areas within the enclosure.

Q4: Is it safe to use the Bendy Bridge as a barrier or wall for my hamster/small pet? A4: While the Bendy Bridge is versatile, it is generally recommended to use it primarily as a bridge, ramp, or hideaway. If using it as a barrier or wall, be aware that the gaps between the wooden slats can pose a risk of paws or limbs getting caught, especially for hamsters. If you do use it as a barrier, consider securing the gaps with pet-safe silicone, moss, or even glueing small rocks over the edges to prevent entrapment. Always supervise your pet when introducing new enrichment items.

Q5: How does this product contribute to my pet's enrichment and well-being? A5: The Trixie Natural Living Bendy Bridge offers significant enrichment by:

• Promoting natural behaviours: Encourages climbing, exploring, gnawing, and hiding, mimicking their instincts in the wild.
• Providing mental stimulation: The ability to reshape and explore different configurations keeps their minds active and prevents boredom.
• Encouraging physical exercise: Climbing and moving across the bridge helps them stay active and healthy.
• Offering security: Creates safe and cosy spots for them to retreat and feel secure.

Q6: What are the different sizes available? A6: The Trixie Natural Living Bendy Bridge typically comes in various sizes to suit different small pets:

• Small: e.g., 22 x 10 cm (for mice, hamsters)
• Medium: e.g., 28 x 17 cm (for guinea pigs, chinchillas)
• Large: e.g., 51 x 30 cm (for guinea pigs, rabbits)
• Please check the product description for the exact dimensions available for the specific model you are purchasing.

Q7: How do I clean the Bendy Bridge? A7: Since it's made of natural wood, avoid submerging it in water. You can wipe it down with a pet-safe cage cleaner or a damp cloth, and allow it to air dry completely before returning it to the habitat. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain hygiene.

Q8: Can this product be used outdoors? A8: While some sources mention it can be used outdoors, it's generally best suited for indoor use to prevent weathering and potential moulding from prolonged exposure to moisture, which could affect its durability and safety for your pet. If used outdoors, ensure it's in a sheltered area and brought inside during wet weather.
