ABSTRACT:
A support structure to which a conglomeration of small animal food can be affixed and around which a conglomeration can be formed includes a shaft having a top and bottom plate at opposite ends thereof. The top plate includes a hanging clip capable of securing the support to a small animal cage or other support structure and the bottom plate may have a securing clip capable of better securing the support to the cage. In order to improve the ability of the support structure to retain the conglomeration thereon when an animal picks at it, a plurality of protuberances are disposed along the length of the shaft. Small animal food is disposed about the shaft between the top and bottom plates and is held together and to the shaft and plates by a sticky material such as honey, dextrose, or other edible substance.
