Lixit Blue Cloud Rock

Help your pet keep his teeth from overgrowing by providing a safe chewing outlet. Mined directly from the Blue Cloud Mine in Southern California. This lava rock provides the chewing satisfaction that your small pet needs, and this pumice lasts longer than wood. For chinchillas, as they chew the rock, the dust becomes the Blue Cloud dust that they love so much. Guinea pigs and other small pets also enjoy this easy to chew, long-lasting lava-rock. May be used daily for 15 minutes. Each rock fits nicely in your small pet's habitat. Size and shapes vary.

Small Pet Teeth
The incisors of rodents continue to grow throughout their lifetime and if they are not worn down through regular gnawing or grinding, the teeth may overgrow and result in more serious problems. Coarse vegetable matter or tough fibrous roughage that requires extended chewing or grinding will naturally wear down and keep teeth at an appropriate length. These food items should be provided regularly in addition to a nutritionally complete diet.

Chew toys, or hard textured dental treats can also help promote natural wear of teeth while providing stimulating activity as well as variety. The teeth of your pet should be examined routinely for abnormalities. Contact your veterinarian if you notice abnormal growth, or if your pet drools, has difficulty chewing, is eating less, or shows pain when touched around the mouth or head. If detected early enough, the veterinarian can trim overgrown teeth and more serious problems can be avoided.
