Making a Hamster Dig Box!

An awesome enrichment you can offer your hamster is by allowing them to dig in different substrates! While just about any dish will work, I have gotten many questions about my wooden dig boxes I have in my enclosures! So today while I make Dipper his own I show you how along the way!
Here are the substrates I use:
Exo terra sand: amzn.to/3UoYSVO
NiteAngel Cork granules: amzn.to/3VMQTTQ
NiteAngel Apple and Beech wood chips: amzn.to/3lSs8pe
Don't want to make your own? NiteAngel sells some awesome ones as well: amzn.to/3OS1sme

You’re amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Ppl are being cruel to these small animals n it’s all over the internet, stuff like “funny memes compilation vids’, 🙄stuupdity goes viral on the internet daily and it’s always a human abusing an animal video. always! , we should be putting in EFFORT to give these guys Heaven 🌺!!! Like cats & etc … but hammy’s are NOTHING BUT SWEET . They deserve Kindness like this 🧡

@JoyTheRat Год назад

Plus in HK people are killing hamsters because they think hamsters will cause Covid 19 :(

no?- litreally no one adds videos of animals being abused- where tf do u live? on marss bruh-

@carriemiles937 Год назад

@@nimetulapsyes they do. But it’s masked as fun such as those long mazes that puts hamsters in danger & stresses them out. Also, putting small animals in general in toy cars & riding then around. And having them in cages that are too small w barely any bedding.

It seems you could hide a treat in one of the dig box's and then in future hide a single treat in one of the other dig box's on a random basis. This should make the hamster even more apt to check out all the boxes looking for the treat as I believe the substrate will hide the scent.
