Hi folks,

I thought I'd register here and get advice rather than searching Google for random conflicting advice from various websites.

I have a female Syrian and I'm currently trying to find her the right things to gnaw to keep her teeth in good shape.

I bought a pack of apple sticks, bamboo sticks and timothy hay sticks. She seems to like the apple sticks, not too fussed on the timothy sticks but she goes mad for the bamboo.

My concern with the bamboo is after watching her for just a few seconds it seems to tear off in splinters and shards and I'm petrified she's going to get them stuck in her throat. Everywhere I read says they're fine but those sharp shards look awfully dangerous to me.

Can anyone advise please?

Thanks,
Ant.
