Trixie sand bath basin for mice and hamsters, ceramic bowl with wooden stand, 20 cm / 21 x 8 cm

Trixie sand bath basin for mice and hamsters is a compact grooming accessory designed for small rodents. The product combines a ceramic bowl with a wooden stand to provide a stable, natural-feeling surface for bathing sand. With a bowl diameter of 20 cm and overall dimensions of 21 x 8 cm, the sand bath fits comfortably inside most cages and enclosures and is intended to support regular grooming by helping remove excess oils and debris from fur.

Advantages

The ceramic bowl is durable, easy to clean and resistant to moisture and stains, while the wooden stand raises the bowl slightly to improve stability and prevent tipping. The size is optimized for mice and hamsters, offering enough space for rolling and bathing without occupying excessive cage area. The neutral materials and simple design integrate well into various cage setups and are suitable for repeated use with bathing sand formulated for small rodents.

Suitable for

• Mice and juvenile rodents that require regular sand baths
• Hamsters that groom by rolling in bathing sand
• Cage placement for domestic small mammals in indoor enclosures
• Owners looking for a compact, easy-to-clean bathing solution

Key specifications

• Bowl material: ceramic for easy cleaning and durability
• Stand material: wood to provide elevation and stability
• Bowl diameter: 20 cm; overall dimensions: approximately 21 x 8 cm
• Design: shallow, open bowl suitable for bathing sand

How to use

Place the wooden stand on a flat surface inside the cage or on a stable platform. Insert the ceramic bowl into the stand and pour a thin, even layer of appropriate bathing sand designed for small rodents—enough to allow the animal to roll and groom without deep digging. Monitor initial use to ensure the pet adapts to the bowl and sand. Empty and replace sand as needed to maintain hygiene, and wash the ceramic bowl with warm water and mild soap; dry thoroughly before refilling.

Usage recommendations

Provide sand baths one to several times per week depending on species, coat condition, and individual preferences. Use only sand specifically formulated for small rodents; avoid beach sand or dust containing additives. Regularly inspect the bowl and stand for signs of wear, and clean promptly to prevent bacterial growth.
