Review:
- As with all of the Rosewood Naturals range the Dandelion Roll ‘n’ Nest had a lovely wholesome smell to it.
- The ball part was tightly woven and was sturdy enough to stand up to a considerable amount of abuse from the Squidgypigs.
- The stuffing was long strands of sweet green hay, mixed with dried dandelion and marigold.
- There was a solid amount of hay stuffed into the ball and a good scattering of flowers.
- Unsurprisingly the Squidgypigs adored the long strands of hay and thought the flowers and even the ball itself was quite the treat.
- As with the Stack ‘n’ Hide Den it’s really nice and reassuring that Rosewood have created these products without any wires or glue.
- I really appreciate how Rosewood have really considered pet safety.
- As you can see in the below video the nest definitely rolls and the Squidgypigs made the most of its spherical form by pushing it around their cage in their pursuit of the hay inside.
- This is of course good exercise, boredom breaking and amusing for any humans that happen to be watching.
- As with the Veg Patch Sackaroo you could very easily refill the Dandelion Roll ‘n’ Nest once the hay and flowers were eaten.
- I honestly never saw anyone interested in nesting in the Roll ‘n’ Nest but as I’ve mentioned in previous posts nesting spots in the (12 member) Girly Fluff herd is hotly contested. I would imagine some piggies would love the appeal of a edible bed!
Conclusion:
- This was a fun product made from quality ingredients with good consideration for the safety of Guinea Pigs.
- Watching the Squidgypigs roll the Roll ‘n’ Nest around trying to steal bites was really quite hilarious.
