Salt & Mineral Wheels

I was talking to our great friend, Linda Cassella, of Silvertone English Angoras, about proper nutrition for the rabbits. Linda mentioned to me about the use of Salt & Mineral Wheels for the rabbits to lick/chew on and I just had to get them.

The wheels provide some minerals that certain food might not provide. Plus, the rabbit will be a bit more thirsty that usual, which is great as they will drink more water and maintain their bodies properly hydrated. In this tough heat, it is extremely important for the rabbits to drink plenty of liquids to keep from over heating.

The wheels can be attached high on the cage so that it will not get into the rabbit's coat. Also, this makes the rabbit stretch out a bit and enjoy their treat.

One word of caution is that the Salt and Mineral Wheels can rust the part of the cage that they are placed on.
