Garden Path Substrate Tray Dig Box

Multi-Section Hamster Dig Box for Enclosure Enrichment

Create a varied and engaging enrichment area with our Garden Path Substrate Tray Dig Box.

Designed to hold three different substrates in one organised space, this tray allows you to introduce texture variety and natural foraging opportunities into your hamster’s enclosure. The divided layout creates a “garden path” effect, encouraging exploration as your hamster moves between each section. Adding multiple substrates helps mimic a more natural environment and encourages a wider range of behaviours.

Ideal for use with materials such as moss, cork granules, coco soil or beech chips, helping to support natural digging and sensory behaviours.

Suitable for Syrian and dwarf hamsters, and also appropriate for mice and other small pets.

Please note: Fairy door not included.

Designed for Natural Enrichment

Hamsters benefit from interacting with a range of textures and substrates within their enclosure.

This tray helps support those behaviours by providing:

• Three separate sections for different substrates
• A structured digging and foraging area
• Increased enrichment and enclosure variety
• Additional clutter to create a more natural environment

The divided design encourages movement between sections, keeping your hamster engaged and curious.

How to Use
