Degu Sandbox

Buy a sandbox for your Degus easily and quickly at DRD Rodent Shop ^® The Degu Webshop for your Degus!

A sandbox containing suitable sand is necessary for degus to care for their fur. It is important that the sand does not contain any sharp crystals. Chinchilla sand, for example, is very suitable. By giving the animals the opportunity to take a sand bath, the protection and insulation function of the coat can be well preserved.

When it comes to Degoes coat care, a sandbox is a must. The animals love to roll in the sand and clean their fur. The sand has an abrasive and degreasing effect. In summer it even provides a bit of cooling thanks to its degreasing properties.

Pay attention! Never use shell sand in the sandbox. This sand is too sharp for the Degu's skin.

Soaking or digging?

There are two ways to offer sand to your Degus. At first the animals need a sandbox with chinchilla sand to take care of their fur, but on the other hand a sandbox with digging / playing sand is also very nice for the animals!
