Cork Granules for Hamsters – Natural Dig Box Substrate (100g)

Natural cork granules designed to add a new texture, digging experience, and enrichment zone to your hamster’s enclosure.

What are cork granules?

Cork granules are made from natural cork bark that has been broken down into small, lightweight pieces.

They create a completely different texture compared to traditional substrates like soil, sand or bedding, making them perfect for adding variety and enrichment to your hamster’s environment.

How much do I get?

Each bag contains 100g of cork granules.

Because cork is very lightweight, this goes further than you might expect, enough to:

• Create a small dig box
• Add a textured zone within your enclosure
• Mix into other substrates for variety

Are cork granules safe for hamsters?

Yes, these cork granules are:

• Made from natural cork
• Free from added chemicals or treatments
• Frozen before packing to help ensure quality

They are safe to use straight from the bag.

How can I use cork granules with my hamster?

Cork granules are incredibly versatile and can be used in a few different ways:

• Dig box substrate: Fill a small area or container to create a dedicated digging zone
• Texture zone: Add a patch to your enclosure to break up larger substrate areas
• Mixed enrichment: Combine with soil or other substrates for a varied digging experience

Some hamsters love to dig through them, while others enjoy sitting in them or moving pieces around their enclosure.
