These dried natural roots, known as cabbage roots, gobi tails, or copi cone, are sourced from the Brassica oleracea plant. These dried woody roots are partially hallow and can be used as foot toys and foraging toys for birds, and chew toys for small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. The roots are also beneficial in bioactive enclosures and are consumed and inhabited by isopods and springtails. These are long-lasting and durable botanicals. These roots are natural and they are not bleached like many natural roots/gobi tails.
