Natural German Style & Hamsterscaping at DRD Rodent Shop ®
Welcome to the world of natural furnishing for rodents and rabbits! In this category we offer a wide range of natural branches, harvest and decorative elements with which you can enrich the habitat of your rodents in a safe and natural way.
It is important to understand that different rodents have different requirements when it comes to their habitat. Hamsters , for example, are avid diggers, while mice and rats are excellent climbers. Gerbils , on the other hand, are both adept diggers and climbers!
Whether you prefer a German style interior or you like to get creative with Hamsterscaping , it is essential to ensure that all elements used are securely and firmly attached. This prevents a hamster from ending up under an XL Vine, for example.
The well-being of your rodents is paramount, which is why we offer a wide range of natural products and accessories to help you create the perfect environment that suits their specific needs.
