Bathing Sand for Small Pets beaphar 1.3 kg

Bathing Sand for Small Pets beaphar 1.3 kg is a dry bath medium formulated for small animals that maintain coat hygiene by dust-bathing or rolling. Supplied in a 1.3 kg bag, this bathing sand helps remove excess oils, trapped dirt and loose fur without using water, supporting regular grooming routines for pet hamsters, gerbils, mice and other small dust-bathing species.

Advantages

This bathing sand absorbs surface oils and loosens fine debris from the coat, enabling more effective grooming without wetting the fur. The fine grain structure provides gentle abrasion that supports natural dust-bathing behaviour while minimising irritation to skin and coat. Packaged in a resealable bag, it is convenient for regular use and spot cleaning and reduces the need for full wet baths that can stress small pets.

Suitable for

• Hamsters and dwarf hamsters
• Gerbils and mice
• Degu and other small rodents that dust-bathe
• Short-term spot cleaning of soiled fur

Key specifications

• Net weight: 1.3 kg
• Fine grain bathing sand suitable for dry grooming
• Designed for use with small pets that naturally dust-bathe
• Packaged for repeated use and storage

How to use

Pour an appropriate amount of bathing sand into a shallow, stable container large enough for the animal to roll comfortably. Place the container in the pet's enclosure for supervised sessions, typically lasting a few minutes, or allow free access depending on the species and individual behaviour. After the session, sift or shake out clumped sand, remove soiled material and replace or refresh the sand as needed to maintain hygiene. Avoid using sand that is visibly contaminated or damp.

Usage recommendations

Use the bathing sand several times per week for species that naturally dust-bathe; monitor the animal for any signs of respiratory irritation or skin sensitivity and discontinue use if problems appear. Provide fresh water and a clean habitat alongside dry bathing to support overall health.
