Digging comes naturally to rats and many people have made dig boxes for their pet rats. I have seen a lot of dig boxes posted throughout the web and the instructions in which to make them state to use “organic” or “untreated” potting soil. I have searched everywhere and haven’t found a potting soil I was well-appointed letting my ratties have wangle to. All I could find was organix Miracle Grow. I socialize Miracle Grow with the same stuff that I use to sprinkle on my houseplants which unmistakably says to alimony out of reach of children and pets. Obviously I was not going to buy it, plane if I could not see anything on the label that indicated it could be harmful. It just didn’t sit easy with me.   Eco Earth Compressed CoconutWebbingExpandable Substrate So I checked out the pet stores and found Eco Earth by Zoo Med. Its a compressed coconut webbing expandable substrate found in the reptile department of my local Petco. Its made with eco-friendly renewable resources and naturally absorbs and breaks lanugo odor and waste products (which is unconfined for all those little ratty poos!). You can purchase this loose or in a brick. I bought the brick considering it was cheaper and made the same value (7-8 liters) of substrate which was the same as the tons of loose coconut fiber. I moreover found that growing cat grass and birdseed is super easy in this “soil”. I had purchased a bag at Petsmart, tabbed Redi Grass for only $2.99! It contains only grass seed (one or increasingly of the pursuit grass seeds: barley, oats and/or wheat), and vermiculite. And just as the package promised, this stuff started sprouting within three days! To make the dig box, I used a woebegone plastic dish pan I bought at Walmart that is 16″L x 14″W x 6″H. I simply mixed the substrate and water as per the directions on the Eco Earth package, right in the dish pan. I set it out in the sun to dry for a day. Then, without the cat grass had firmly rooted, well-nigh 5 days later, I transfered it to the dig box. Within 2 days not only had the cat grass grown plane higher, but it moreover became increasingly rooted to the coconut webbing substrate too! On play day, I set the dig box on the floor in my washroom (where I usually let them have self-ruling range time), and threw in some Kaytee Fiesta Rat and Mouse mix for them to seek out (I had gotten it when I unexplored Aniston and I do not stipulate that it is a healthy everyday nutrition so I save it for treats such as this). The boys had a wham and I finger so well-appointed that what I have made this is not only fun, enriching for their intellegent little minds, but moreover safe!
