A lovely sandbox for small rodents such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters and gerbils. A sandbox is important for daily coat care. The sandbox can easily be filled with chinchilla sand and the animals can bathe to their heart's content. The semi-closed shape ensures that most of the sand stays on board and in the summer the cool ceramic baths can provide nice cooling!
✔ Sustainable ceramics
✔ curved side walls reduce sand loss
✔ Natural nail wear
Of course, these sandboxes can also be used as hiding places for the animals. Add some ground cover and nesting material and the animals have a cozy hiding place!
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 fun.
Fill the sandbox with enough chinchilla sand. By enough we mean a layer that is thick enough to bathe nicely. Only use chinchilla sand as bath sand. Other types of sand are less or not suitable as bath sand. Shell sand should never be used, because it is too sharp and can damage the skin and fur of the animals.
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.
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.
