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.

How to Use

• Use in dedicated enrichment areas, dig boxes, or trays

• Mix with compatible substrates for added texture

• Spot clean regularly and replace as needed

This product is intended for enrichment, not as a sole enclosure substrate.

Safety & Care

• Made from untreated beech wood

• Free from added chemicals, scents, or dyes

• Always monitor your hamster when introducing new substrates

• Replace if excessively soiled or damp
