Our Bio-Active Dig Boxes are an easy way to help with replicating your rats natural habitat! These dig boxes satisfy digging and foraging instincts, providing for both physical and mental stimulation, to keep your rats happy and healthy.
These kits have a “Clean Up Crew” or “CUC” - bugs (springtails and optional isopods) that help keep the digbox in shape so you don’t have to! Swipe through the photos for the “Dig Box Care Guide” - it’s pretty simple! Double bonus: We will even set up the kits for you!
These complete starter kits include:
- Dig box
- Coco coir
- Coco husk
- Leaf litter
- Spaghnum moss
- Assorted small sticks
- Fresh pear tree branch for chewing
- CUC
$25 for no bugs
$35 for springtails only OR
$50 for springtails + dwarf white isopods Digging is one natural behaviour that rats need to have the opportunity to engage in to live happy, fulfilled lives. This activity keeps them mentally and physically fit. Some will even dig full-on tunnel systems with dens when they’re entire cage base is filled! Scatter-feeding in the dig area is extra fun, and helps meet their needs for foraging as well. You can get creative and alternate what else is in the dig box to up the challenge level. Some great additions include rat-safe leaves, branches, moss, coco husk, and various types of paper.
*Dig boxes are available via PICK UP ONLY in Nogojiwanong / Peterborough or Bowmanville.
Our goal with the store is to have these high quality products enrich the lives of many rats, so we keep them priced relatively affordable. Another goal is to raise funds for vet care and other needs. If you are able to add a donation on top of the cost, it is greatly appreciated, though not necessary. Please also let us know if you are struggling to financially provide for your rats, and we will see what we can do.
