Why a sandbox for small rodents?

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.

Instructions for use Sandbox Ceramic Half-round

Fill the sandbox with plenty of chinchilla sand. By plenty, we mean a layer thick enough for comfortable bathing. Use only chinchilla sand as bath sand. Other types of sand are less suitable, or not at all. Shell sand should never be used, as it is too sharp and can damage the animals' skin and fur.

What is ceramic?

Ceramic is glazed earthenware. The difference between terracotta and ceramic is that ceramic is glazed, while terracotta is unglazed. The glaze makes ceramic strong, water-resistant, insulating, and easy to clean. The biggest advantage for us is that urine can't soak into the material. Any puddles can be easily wiped away because they are absorbed.

Ceramics are cool in summer and warm in winter!

Oddly enough, ceramic is actually nice and warm in winter when animals build their nests in it. This is due to its excellent insulating properties. It's no wonder that houses are now built with ceramic bricks because of their superior insulation in both winter and summer.
