Instructions for use Trixie Organic Humus

Organic Humus as ground cover for small rodents (Mouse, Dwarf Hamster, Hamster)
Humus is also suitable as a basic substrate for small rodents. It mimics the animals' natural habitat, namely digging and creating tunnels in sandy substrates. However, ventilation in the enclosure is a challenge, as the sand is damp.

For small rodents that originally live in the desert
Allow the humus to dry thoroughly before using it for desert animals, otherwise the humidity will be too high for these animals.

Organic Humus for Fresh Rodent Plants
Humus is also very suitable as a substrate for fresh plants, as they can take root well. If you want to plant established rodent plants in the enclosure, humus is a good substrate. View all our fresh plants here!
