Bedding for hamsters and dwarf hamsters should preferably be diggable. The animals are real diggers and like to dig tunnels in their enclosure. A thick pack of excavable ground cover makes this possible! An additional advantage is that the animals can display their natural behavior in this way and are less likely to get bored. Digging in soil cover is sometimes a day's work, where one tunnel is just finished, a new one has to be made, so the animals keep themselves busy!

Ground cover & Hamsterscaping

Hamsterscaping makes it possible for the animals to show their natural behaviour. At Hamsterscaping, the accommodation is arranged in an animal-friendly, but very extensive way so that the animals can dig, investigate and just be a hamster! We recommend giving the animals a layer of at least 20 cm. 30 cm would be even more fun for Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters).

Bioactive soil cover

We distinguish two types of soil cover when it comes to scaping, namely the normal scape and the bioactive scape or a combination of both. The bioactive bedding makes it possible to plant fresh plants and not only provides a living environment for hamsters, but also for small bioactive critters that maintain the environment in the enclosure. We have to say right away that a bioactive device is really advanced because of the challenges and subtle natural balance. For example, the small critters that live in a bioactive enclosure help to clean up poop and pee, and the poop and pee of the critters are fertilizer for the plants. In this way, a stay hardly ever needs to be changed.

The biggest challenge with a bioactive residence is the humidity. If the humidity is too high, parts of the enclosure can start to mold, so we always recommend painting them with a safe clear coat .

A good bioactive soil cover is, for example, the Organic Humus and the Coconut Fiber, these two mixed together provide a beautiful surface for plants and grass and allow natural tunnels to be dug.

Combine ground cover plants!

It can help to combine ground cover plants with each other. In this way, the ground cover gets more volume and the animals can dig in it even better. Some ground covers such as Cotton & Wood Fiber and Cotton & Hemp are already pre-mixed, but others such as wood fiber are best mixed with hay, for example, so that they get more firmness.
