Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the rodent carpet last?

Depending on how many animals you have in your enclosure and the thickness of the carpet you use (5mm or 10mm), it will last approximately 1-3 weeks. Simply remove the carpet and give it a quick shake. It's also possible to cut out only heavily soiled areas.

What are hemp mats?	A hemp mat is a small mat made of hemp fibers, used among other things as nesting material. They are soft and feel comfortable for hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.
Do you just put the mats in the stable, or do you also put bedding on top?	Both are possible. You can use the rodent carpet as a base on the floor and then add bedding on top for nesting. Many customers also use the coconut mats as a base layer and then place the hemp mat on top of them. Your animals will then build their nest from parts of the hemp mat, so no bedding is necessary.
Do you have to throw it away immediately after using it?	If the mat becomes heavily soiled or has been shredded by rodents, it can simply be disposed of in the organic waste bin. The rodent mat is completely compostable and 100% natural.
Is a rodent rug washable?	No, the hemp mats are not washable. You can simply shake them out or cut out the heavily soiled section.
Can the mat also be used as a heating pad in winter?	Yes, the carpet is warm and acts like a blanket that rodents like to snuggle into. It's best to use a coconut mat as a base and then place the hemp rodent carpet on top.
