but also the chewing toys, but many owners or breeders prefer to use articles which can be washed and reused.
Many find that sugar gliders prefer real products to "gnaw on" as their teeth never stop growing. They also prefer real products over something artificial, which is why purchased chew products should be real bark products of some form or another. Natural wood chews which provide crunchy bark crust are preferred by these small animals if live trees are not your thing or you do not know if pesticides are involved or not. But pumice stone blocks or carrot bones are also an alternative source for teeth maintenance for something different.
Many owners prefer to add chew toys in addition to having fun and entertainment. One such thing is the Hanging Chew Stick with Cookies by Exotic Nutrition. Horizontal bars provided not only climbing fun but also chewing and nutritional values. Similar are their Veggie Baskets which can hold all kinds of things, like fresh fruit or vegetables for them to climb down as it suspends from a bar or top of the cage.
