Use as a sandbox

If you want to use the house as a sandbox, place a small layer of sand in the house. Chinchilla sand is suitable for use as bath sand for rodents. Due to the closed shape of the house, less sand is spilled.

Ceramics are cool in summer and warm in winter!

Oddly enough, ceramics are actually nice and warm in the winter when animals make their nests in them. This is due to the excellent insulating effect of ceramics. It is not without reason that houses are now also built with ceramic bricks because of their superior insulation in both winter and summer.

Can rodents tolerate heat well?

Rodents have only a low heat tolerance. In nature, the animals retreat to the cooling, underground burrow when it is warm - this effect can be imitated with a cold store. In the summer, a cold store offers pleasant cooling.

Are the openings large enough for the cheek pouches?

Yes, absolutely! The openings are large enough for dwarf hamsters (Roborovski Dwarf Hamster, Russian Dwarf Hamster, Campbell's Dwarf Hamster, Chinese Dwarf Hamster) to walk through the opening with full cheek pouches. It is very important that the openings of a house are large enough. If the entrances of a hamster house are too small, the hamster has to squeeze through. The hoarded grains can damage the mucous membranes of the inside of the cheek pouches, which can lead to abscesses of the cheek pouches.

What is ceramic?

Ceramic is glazed earthenware. The difference between terracotta and ceramic is that ceramic is glazed and terracotta is not glazed. Due to the glaze layer, ceramic is: strong, water-resistant, insulating and easy to clean. The biggest advantage for us is that urine cannot soak into the material. Any puddles can be wiped away, because they soak into it.
