Niteangel Hamster Sand Bath Dust Free Box - Wooden Critters Shower & Digging Sand Bathtub for Small Animals Like Hamsters Mice Lemming or Gerbils (Medium-11.8-inch L x 7.8-inch W)

Have to waterproof it

Had the box for a couple of weeks and didnt notice the 4 NAILS coming through the platform in the the actual sand box.. crappy quality control!!!!!! Luckily my fiance found the problem and fixed it!!!!

We have a small animal playpen in our living room, and our kids often bring one or the other of our Syrian hamsters out there during the day when theyre awake (never both, of course!). We have several products from NiteAngel, including the sandbox and the large six-room maze house, which are both in the playpen. Theyre both well-built and sturdy but not too expensive. The hamsters love both items! They like to dig in the sand, and the high sides of the sandbox keep the sand from coming out very much. There are other hideys in the playpen available for sleeping, but we always find a hamster sleeping either in the dark area of the sandbox, or a room of the house. My 14-y.-o. daughter has remarked that she really likes both items, and it takes a lot for her to say she likes something! No one has peed in there yet, but I imagine that would soak in and be stinky, and would also bother the other hamster (since peeing is marking territory). I read the other day about sealing the boxes with mineral oil, so Im going to try that to keep any urine smells from soaking in. The Zoo Med Deluxe Scooper, also sold by Amazon, is the perfect size for cleaning this. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ENGOR6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Very well made and my Syrian loved it a lot. The only thing is that I wish there was a size option. I have one of the Niteangel cages for my hamster as well as a few other Niteangel hides. The cage is about 776 inches of floor space. Combined with all the things in there this sand bath took up a good 1/4th of the cage. My hamsters a big girl and definitely needs larger things but this sand bath is ridiculously large. After having it in there for a week I replaced it and instead gave it to my degu. They love it! But unless you have a cage that’s more than 950 square inches of floor space this might not be the sand bath for you.

Well made and Sturdy. It was just HUGE for a hamster. I use it for my bunny instead.

This sand box is perfect for my roboroski hamster! The wood is amazing quality and sturdy. Super cute dish as well!

Good sand bath very deep and good size! My hamster loves it

Returned

Even with measuring this, it is big and bulky. The sides are high for most animals. They still shake a good bit of sand out of the box. The food bowl is impractical, poorly reachable, too shallow.

I have to return this. He couldnt get in it or on top of it. There are definitely cheaper ways to make a sand bath than this. Also more creative ways to utilize space. This is probably great for larger animals though.
