HAMSTERSCAPING WITH REAL PLANTS

The hamster scaper's heart will beat faster now, because a fresh plant in the enclosure is, of course, the ultimate natural decoration for a hamster scaping enclosure. There are actually many possibilities here, depending on the substrate. If you're using a "soil-like" substrate like humus , you could choose to plant the plants directly in the ground. The roots will then continue to grow in the soil. This way, you have a permanent plant in the enclosure. How quickly the animals eat the plant depends on the rodent species. Mice, dwarf hamsters, and hamsters are often more relaxed about the plants. Gerbils, on the other hand, nibble on them more quickly.

When hamster scaping, you can also choose to place the plant in a pot in the enclosure. This makes it easier to remove the plant from the enclosure and allow it to grow. Watering is best done with a plant sprayer .
