Hamster scaping This ground cover is very suitable for scaping for small rodents, such as Mice , Dwarf Hamster , Hamsters and Gerbils . It is an easily and pleasantly excavatable ground cover in which tunnels remain in place. |
Clay-based terrarium sand
More and more rodent enclosures are getting a completely natural look. Trixie Den sand is ideal for a natural rodent residence. The sand is ideal for burrowing reptiles and other terrarium inhabitants. The sand has a high clay content so that it does not sag and remains stable when digging tunnels and caves. The clay also regulates the moisture content in the enclosure.
✔ Ideal for Hamsterscaping & Gerbilscaping !

For small rodents (Mouse, Dwarf Hamster, Hamster)
Apply a thick layer of at least 20 cm in a defined part of the enclosure and let the animals do the rest. They will dig to their heart's content and make the most beautiful corridors! A bag of 5 kg is comparable to 5 litres. More than 10 bags are needed to fill an entire enclosure of 100 x 40 cm with 20 cm of sand. It is therefore advisable to fill part of the enclosure with this fun digging sand.
For small rodents that originally live in the desert
Let the sand dry well before using it for desert animals, otherwise the humidity is too high for these animals.
For larger rodents as a bucket (Rat, Rabbit, Degu)
The burrow sand in the bucket can be used for larger rodents and rabbits. A bag of 5 kg is comparable to 5 litres. At least 5 bags of sand are required to fill a 50 x 50 cm container with a 10 cm layer.
The Denzand is not suitable for Chinchillas. The sand is too moist for the delicate Chinchilla fur.
Trixie Cave sand for Fresh rodent plants
The cave sand is also suitable as a substrate for fresh plants. The plants do have more trouble rooting than in the Organic Humus, so a combination would be better. If you want to put permanent rodent plants in the enclosure, humus is a good substrate for this. View all our fresh plants here!

Onze hamsters doen er niets mee. Ik denk omdat het zo hard wordt. Een van de hamsters vond i.i.g. de hummus leuker.
Leuk voor het graven mijn hamster was niet meer te herkennen zat helemaal onder. Het is na een tijdje wel leuk qua kleur maar hamster doet er niet zo veel mee.
Het is heel leuk om een grot of een tunnel hiermee te maken, maar het na een tijdje wordt het hard, dus mijn hamster doet er niet zo veel mee.
