But perhaps the biggest advantage of this house is the nail-wearing property of the rough surface. Because hamsters are active and curious, they climb and clamber on top of everything. This has its advantages, because with a rough surface, the nails wear out. With a bit of luck, the nail clipping will be less or maybe even no longer necessary.

What is terracotta?

Terracotta is Italian and derived from the Latin terra (earth), and the Italian cotta (baked). Terracotta is unglazed, hard fired pottery. Because terracotta is not glazed, it is quite rough, which means that the nails of rodents can wear well when the animals walk over it.

Is terracotta easy to clean?

Yes, terracotta can easily be cleaned by rinsing it under water, for example. If a puddle ends up on terracotta, it can easily be rinsed out or treated with a urine spray .
