Kaytee Knot Nibbler Small Pet Toy, Mini

My 4 young rats ripped this to pieces in a day and a half. 4 starts because they really enjoyed themselves and did a lot of chewing. Maybe too fragile for heavy chewers or rambunctious youngsters.

My hamsters love when they get one of these toys in their habitats. It's a good chew toy, however when it starts to come apart I get a little worried. The thin yellow sticks stick straight out, and being the paranoid pet caretaker I am, I worry their going to hurt themselves on it, as they can be clumsy at times. I end up trying to push it back in, or just taking it part and letting them chew on the individual pieces. There is a really cool wooden ball in the center, that somehow some of my hamsters have managed to get out without completing tearing the toy apart. I would recommend this toy, I would just be cautious and watch the sticks when it starts to get torn apart.

My bunny loves the larger version of this but they dont sell it. She barely touches this one

I bought two of these for our hamsters for Christmas. They love them! They roll them around and take them apart all night!

I’m very worried about my Syrian hamster because I didn’t realize this toy came apart so quickly and easily like this. I just gave it to her and within 2 minutes she had it apart and she has swallowed 2 of the thin rods, whole, and I can see them protruding out the side of her neck. I am hopeful that she is just storing them in her mouth/cheek/neck for later, but there’s no way I’m getting them away from her. I took the other pieces away. Something so thin, long, and potentially sharp might easily become lodged in her mouth and she might end up with a big problem and a trip to the vet.

My hamster loves this little toy, especially because it rattles a bit when played with. She chews on it and it seems to be made out of good material wood. My only complaint is I wish the pieces were glued into place or held together better, as it seems it will come apart easily.

The description lead me to believe that there was a nut in the middle of this toy to encourage engagement and chewing. There is not a nut in the middle. It is just a wooden bead.

I should’ve looked at the dimensions for the toy because it’s really small. Also some people will say it falls apart but I believe that’s what it’s supposed to do, so I’m satisfied.

I know since the toy is for an animal, you probably cant use glue, but I thought the company had figured out a way for this toy to holds its shape! As soon as I took the shrink wrap off, the pins started falling out and it fell apart. So now I have a pile of toothpicks. DONT BUY!

It’s fine for a chew toy, but just be aware it is not glued or anything so the pieces slide out easily and it is much smaller than it seems, it’s fits in the palm of my small hand. But still does what it’s meant to do :)
