Default Re: Syrians use sand bath?

when I first got my syrian Daisy, I didn't know so much about hamsters and had a small container of sand for her which she barely used. a few weeks later I learnt some more about hamsters and gave her a large shoebox for a sandbox just for fun to see what would happen and she literally moved into it! she became obsessed! she's a real hoarder and would empty out her food bowl each day and stash it in the shoebox. she moved her chew toys, and a bunch of her bedding in there also! eventually I realized it was becoming too trashed up and ordered her a proper niteangel sandbox which is actually coming tomorrow and I'm super excited about it
so like Luna said, my advice is to try a large one and see what happens. good luck with your new hamster!!!

My roborovski, Rafferty adores his sand bath and when I gave him one the size of a third of the cage he made his nest in there and stashed food.

He has a slightly smaller one now but still sleeps in it.

I`m tempted to buy the new sandbath/toilet from trixie, just to see if my hammies do use it

Our Syrian has the Trixie corner sand bath and he loves to dig around in it, kicking the sand out too. He looks as though he’s rolling in it, but I actually think he’s just scenting the sides every day, but it looks super cute. He sits in it to wash himself too. I’d have loved him to just use it as a toilet but that has never happened, it’s more a cleaning space in his eyes

My male Syrian uses his everyday. He digs and sometimes uses as a bathroom. Best for your hamster to have one and not use it then not have it and need it.
