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

      @@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.

    This is great! I just got a Multi - Chamber hideout and I put some coco peat and granules in it, and the next night when I checked on him he had completely destroyed my once beautiful looking “dig box” 🥲
    I’ve never wanted to scream more… 😂
    ❤ this video Tori! You are so creative and are really the definition of “Do it Yourself” 😅
    ALSO. Dipper at the end when he took his face out and he had a crown looking ring of the substrate looked so cute!

    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.
