The Trixie Box for Nesting Material is a natural and engaging way to provide your small pets with the cozy bedding they need. This eco-friendly kit features an FSC-certified cardboard box filled with high-quality Kapok—a natural plant fiber that is significantly safer and more comfortable than traditional cotton nesting materials.
Designed specifically for hamsters and mice, this box encourages natural foraging and nesting behaviors. Your pets can pluck the fine, soft fibers directly from the box to line their sleeping areas, creating a warm and secure environment. The box comes equipped with a sisal ribbon and a wooden hook, allowing you to easily hang it from the cage bars to keep the nesting material clean and off the floor.

FAQ Section
Q: Is Kapok safer than standard cotton fluff? A: Yes. Standard cotton fluff can sometimes have long fibers that may wrap around a pet's limbs or cause intestinal blockages if swallowed. Kapok is a natural plant fiber with shorter, more brittle fibers that break apart easily and are safer for digestion.
Q: How do I install the box in my cage? A: The box includes a sisal ribbon and a wooden hook. Simply hang the hook from the roof or side bars of your pet's cage at a height they can easily reach.
Q: Can this be used for birds too? A: While this specific 9x9cm box is marketed for small rodents like hamsters and mice, Kapok is also an excellent and safe nesting material for birds.
Q: Is the cardboard safe if my hamster chews it? A: Yes, the box is made from FSC-certified cardboard, which is safe for pets to nibble on as they extract the nesting material.
