Substrate Question

[BabyHamHam]

I'd like to get something that my hamster could dig in that's like dirt, but I'm not sure what to get? I have the whole set up ready for my new furry friend, just looking at getting another material for enrichment. I have loads of paper bedding and sand already. I'm in Canada in case that matters for where has what. Thanks in advance for suggestions!!

My hamsters really like coconut soil! I've also tried reptile moss but neither of them were fans. I've seen people use cork and corn bedding, and coco chips. I haven't tried any of those but am interested in trying the cork bedding especially!

Stitch loved nothing more than digging in her coco fibre she used to love completely covering herself and i'd just see the coco fibre start moving as she was burrowing thats what happened when i got that picture it was originally part of a video and she came out with dirt all over her face and shook it off 😂

i also got this picture which i love, looks like she's smiling the blur just makes it more funny lmao
