Why choose the Trixie Digging Tower?

Many small rodents enjoy digging, scratching, and finding some peace and quiet. With the Trixie Digging Tower, you can give your pet a dedicated area in their enclosure where this behavior is further stimulated. This makes this tower not only a fun accessory but also a functional enrichment tool.

The combination of natural wood, a staircase, two openings, and a viewing window makes this burrowing tower appealing to animals who love to explore. You can fill it with sturdy, diggable bedding to create small tunnels and burrows. This not only looks great but also provides your animal with more challenge and variety in their enclosure.

A major advantage is that the tower creates a separate digging zone. This can be a valuable addition, especially in enclosures where bedding depths aren't consistent throughout. You can easily add an extra digging area without having to completely redecorate the enclosure.

Which animals is this digging tower suitable for?

The Trixie Digging Tower is primarily intended for small rodents that naturally like to dig or move around in sheltered conditions.

Mouse

For mice, this is a fun additional play and hiding spot. Especially in a naturally designed enclosure, the tower can provide more variety and encourage exploratory behavior.

Dwarf hamster

For dwarf hamsters, this is a fun addition as an extra digging spot. Fill the tower with a stable substrate so your hamster can dig its own little tunnels.

Hamster

This tower can be suitable for hamsters as additional enrichment, but always check carefully that the dimensions and passages are large enough for your pet. Especially with larger hamsters, it's important that everything remains comfortably accessible.

Gerbil

Gerbils also often enjoy digging. Use the tower as part of a well-furnished enclosure and ensure it's securely and stably placed in or on the substrate.

Use & furnishing

Fill the excavation tower with a substrate suitable for digging. Consider a combination of fiber-rich or sturdy materials that provide more structure. Good options include Cotton N Cotton , Cotton N Fiber , Wood Fiber , Hemp , and Carefresh .

Place the tower on a stable surface and observe how your pet uses it. Some animals like to climb up the stairs, while others prefer the lower entrance. It's precisely this variation that makes this product so appealing. You can also combine the tower with other natural features and additional digging options from our Bedding & Nesting Materials category.

Material

Important to know

This digging tower is intended as enrichment and an additional digging area, not as a replacement for a spacious enclosure with sufficient bedding.
