Niteangel Visible Hamster Digging Box, Burlywood, wooden, transparent acrylic front

At 11.1 x 7.36 x 7.3 inches (about 28.3 x 18.6 x 18.7 cm), this hamster digging box gives a small animal a boxed-in space to burrow in, with a clear acrylic panel across the front. The enclosed body has a top exit of 2.75 inches. The Niteangel box is listed for use with hamsters of several kinds, along with gerbils, mice and degus.

Filling, hiding and opening the box

The digging container takes bedding for small animals, and the manufacturer names Niteangel aspen, paper or coco bedding as options. Treats or toys can be tucked into it as well, and the same space works as a storehouse for food or a favourite toy.

A top cover sits over the box and can be opened or lifted off entirely. With the cover in place, a Niteangel water bottle or pet feeding bowl can stand on it. Putting the box together is a simple assembly job.

An enclosed wooden body with a see-through front

Five sides of the box are made of a durable material, and the front carries a transparent acrylic board so the animal can be watched while it digs. The specification lists acrylic and wood as the materials, and the finish is burlywood.

• The enclosed design keeps the digging area inside a defined box.
• The transparent front panel lets you look in from the side.
• Every corner is polished smooth.
• The removable top cover opens and comes off.
• The box weighs 1.62 kg (3.57 lb).

Does it fit your cage or tank?

Check that the cage or tank has enough floor space for the box before buying: at roughly 28.3 x 18.6 x 18.7 cm it takes up a fair share of a shelf or base. The 2.75-inch top exit is the opening the animal uses to get in and out, so compare it with the size of your pet. The manufacturer's list covers Syrian, Chinese, Robo, dwarf and Campbell hamsters, plus gerbils, mice, degus and small animals of a similar size.
