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.
Key Features
✔ Three-section substrate tray design
✔ Holds multiple substrate types in one area
✔ Encourages digging, foraging and exploration
✔ Helps add structure and clutter to the enclosure

How to Use
Fill each section with a different hamster-safe substrate to create varied textures within the enclosure.

Fit Guide:
Choose the size that gives your pet a comfortable entrance and room to move. For smaller hamsters (e.g., Roborovski and dwarf breeds), small or medium is perfect. Larger species like Syrians benefit from the large size. Always allow extra space for cheek pouches and natural exploration.
