Use as a sandbox

If you would like to use the house as a sandbox, place a small layer of sand in the house. Chinchilla sand is suitable for use as bathing sand for rodents. Due to the closed shape of the house, less sand is spilled.

Ceramics are cool in summer and warm in winter!

Strangely enough, ceramics are nice and warm in winter when the animals make their nest in them. This is due to the very good insulating effect of ceramics. It is not for nothing that houses are now also being built with ceramic bricks because of their superior insulation in both winter and summer.

Do rodents tolerate heat well?

Rodents have only low heat tolerance. In nature, the animals retreat to the cooling underground cave when it is warm - you can imitate this effect with a cold store. In the summer, a cold store offers pleasant cooling.

Are the openings big enough for the cheek pouches?

Yes, sure! The openings are large enough for dwarf hamsters (Roborovski Dwarf Hamster, Russian Dwarf Hamster, Campbelli Dwarf Hamster, Chinese Dwarf Hamster) to walk through the opening with full cheek pouches. It is very important that the openings of a house are large enough. If the entrances to a hamster house are too small, the hamster will have to squeeze through. As a result, the hoarded grains can damage the mucous membranes of the inside of the cheek pouches, which can lead to abscesses of the cheek pouches.

What is Ceramic?

Ceramic is glazed earthenware. The difference between terracotta and ceramic is that ceramic is glazed and terracotta is unglazed. The glaze layer makes ceramic: strong, water-resistant, insulating and easy to clean. The biggest advantage for us is that urine cannot penetrate the material. Any puddles can be removed in this way, because they retract.
