PureMade Wishbone™
Natural chew and rooting enrichment for research and zoo animals
Small (3" x 4"); Medium (4" x 6"); Large (5" x 9.5")
Encouraging natural behaviors like chewing, gnawing and rooting is important to animals’ physical and mental well-being. The PureMade Wishbone™ is a versatile animal enrichment device designed to stimulate these natural behaviors across a wide variety of species in both research and zoological settings. Available in small, medium and large sizes, its unique shape makes it easy to place directly into enclosures.
Textured nubs and ridges encourage chewing and gnawing while supporting dental health, and treats can be smeared into the crevices for additional engagement. The Wishbone is especially effective at encouraging natural rooting behavior in pigs and can also be hung from chains for interactive enrichment with species such as sheep and pigs.
The PureMade Wishbone is fully autoclavable and cagewasher safe. Like all PureMade enrichment products, this animal enrichment device is made from 100% natural, nontoxic materials—supporting animal welfare, research integrity, and environmental sustainability.

FAQs
What is PureMade Wishbone made of?
The PureMade Wishbone is engineered from two simple base components: sustainable cellulose and renewable vegetable oil. These materials are natural, food-grade, GMO-free, and nontoxic.
Where is it made?
It is proudly manufactured in Europe. The production uses a patented manufacturing process focused on animal safety and environmental sustainability.
How is it different from other enrichment?
Unlike traditional synthetic plastic or petroleum-based toys, the PureMade Wishbone is free from harmful additives like BPA, phthalates, pesticides, and carcinogens. It is biodegradable, compostable, and CO₂-neutral, leaving behind zero microplastics. For added safety, it is splinter-resistant and designed to gently flake into small pieces rather than breaking into sharp, dangerous fragments. Additionally, its unique shape features nubs and ridges to aid in dental health and can be easily hung from chains to encourage natural rooting and foraging behaviors.
What species is it suitable for?
The PureMade Wishbone is incredibly versatile and provides fantastic enrichment for canines, rabbits, non-human primates, pigs, sheep, ferrets, guinea pigs, rodents, and marmosets.
When should I replace it?
We recommend inspecting the Wishbone regularly and replacing it whenever it begins showing moderate signs of wear. If you ever notice an animal is successfully breaking off larger chunks instead of the typical small flakes, please discontinue use and contact us for an alternative recommendation.
