Why Use Beech Chips for Enrichment?
Beech chips are ideal for adding variety to your hamster’s environment. They can be used to:
-
Create textured digging areas
-
Add sensory enrichment to part of the enclosure
-
Mix with other substrates for layered digging zones
-
Scatter feed or forage for natural searching behaviour
The medium chip size (6–10 mm) is suitable for hamsters and helps encourage natural interaction without compacting like finer substrates.
