Rodipet® Ceramic Rodent Rock - in two sizes
This Rodipet® house for small rodents has a spacious entrance through which a dwarf hamster (size S) or golden hamster (size L) can comfortably slip in even with full cheek pouches. A subtle division in the shape of the living rock gives the rear part of the rock a homely atmosphere and encourages the rodents to build a nest.The surface of the rock is made of robust ceramic and invites climbing, exploring and keeping a lookout. When climbing, it naturally wears down your pet's claws, which rarely get as much abrasion in the enclosure as they would in the wild.But it's not just in claw care that the rodent rock material excels: especially on warm days, the clay offers your pet a welcome cool-down. If you wish, you can intensify the cooling by spraying a little water onto the surface; as it evaporates, it cools even more and feels like a gentle rain shower.And cleaning the Rodipet® Ceramic Rodent Rock couldn't be simpler: longer soaking doesn't harm it, nor does a run in the dishwasher. A thoroughly well thought-out and natural product for your rodent enclosure.
