My chinchillas love these sticks! Do note that the bundles vary widely in stick size, though. My chins love the bundles of thin sticks but don't like the bigger sticks quite as much.

I wish there was a way to guarantee they'd be one way or the other, so I don't end up having to buy two bundles each time and just hope one is full of twigs instead of branches.
