Why a Sandbox with Platform?

In the wild, rodents use sand baths to keep their fur clean and in good condition. Sand baths help remove excess oils and dirt, keeping their fur soft and healthy. Bathing also provides relaxation and enjoyment. The Sandbox with Platform not only provides space for bathing, but the platform also gives your rodent an extra place to sit or rest.

Two Sizes for Different Rodents

The Benefits of Ceramics

Ceramic is a popular material for rodent accessories, and for good reason. It offers several advantages over other materials:

• Durable and robust : Ceramic is durable and can withstand impact. This makes the sandbox resistant to intensive use.
• Easy to clean : Because ceramic is smooth, dirt is less likely to stick and it is easy to rinse and keep clean.
• Cool in summer : During the warmer months, ceramic stays cool for longer, providing extra comfort for your rodent.
• Stable : The weight of the ceramic means the sandbox will slide less easily through the enclosure, which increases the safety of your rodent.

How do you use the Sandbox with Platform?

Using the sandbox is easy. Fill it with plenty of chinchilla sand . This special sand is fine and soft, making it ideal for bathing. Make sure the layer is thick enough for your rodent to roll around in. Avoid using other types of sand, such as shell sand, as it's far too sharp and can damage your rodent's skin and fur.

Important Tips:

• Use only chinchilla sand as bath sand.
• Provide a sufficiently thick layer of sand so that your rodent can bathe comfortably.
• Never use shell sand , it is too sharp and harmful to the skin and coat.
