Using this Oxbow Enriched Life Celebration Heart is easy. Just place it in your pet's habitat, and they'll naturally start exploring, chewing, and playing with it. It's great for special occasions or as a regular part of their daily enrichment. When it comes to maintenance, you can simply wash it with mild soap and water every now and then to keep it clean. Always check the toy regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If it starts to break apart, replace it to avoid any choking hazards. Keep in mind that it's designed for small animals like chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, and mice, so make sure it's the right size for your pet.
