Niteangel Visible Hamster Digging Box for Syrian Dwarf Roborovski Campbell Hamsters Gerbils Mice Lemmings Degus or Other Small-Sized Pets

Perfect edition for my gerbils 40 gallon tank... Very sturdy.

So unlike all of the other niteangel products I’ve bought this one does need to be assembled but it is pretty quick and easy assembly. There are six main pieces and the box can either be glued together or screwed in together, and it comes with both screws and glue. It also comes with a screwdriver, tape and two wood pieces for when screwing it in. Instructions on how to construct it are included as well.

I have three hamsters, so buying a fancy dig box for each enclosure is too expensive. However, they have all enjoyed searching for food I sprinkle inside the box during their free roam time. I have curly shredded paper on top of a mixture of coconut fiber and fine textured aspen shavings from Niteangel. So, the food filters through the loose paper and they have to borrow to find it. The acrylic window lets me see them busy searching. Good enrichment for deeper digging they dont get from the shallow containers of coconut fiber and sand they have in their enclosures. They burrow in the bedding, but once the burrow is done, they seldom burrow again until deep cleaning occurs.

Easy assembly, plenty big. We put a mix of cork and cocofiber inside and our Syrian digs it (literally). LOL
