You'll also find Java Multi Branches at Scarletts Rat Essentials. These are most popular with rats, chinchillas and Degu. They love the strong heat treated wood to chew and the smooth texture wipes clean easier than most other woods. A: Lava ledges can be used with other small animals, such as hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs, as long as they meet the size and safety requirements of the specific species. Q: Are lava ledges easy to clean? Magmas with a low viscosity and volatile contents (e.g. water vapour, carbon dioxide) are erupted quietly as effusive lava flows (as seen almost daily at Mauna Loa, Hawaii) whereas lavas with a high viscosity and/or excess volatile content are erupted explosively and generally result in fragmental deposits rather than lava flows (e.g. Mount St Helens, United States of America(USA)). Basaltic magma (low silica content) is usually erupted as lava flows whereas rhyolitic magmas (high silica content) are commonly erupted as pyroclastic deposits or short flows. Lava flows

When I was new to keeping rats and hamsters I didn’t understand just how important these platforms were! I have seen many Youtube videos of rats sitting on lava ledges and chewing them, now you can see our Youtube videos too! Imagine descending into a cave carved out by lava to work alongside a rover about the size of Spirit and Opportunity on Mars, watching the pristine wilderness of a national park transition into tall pillars and stalactites, all in a search for subterranean microbes.That was a typical day for NASA’s Biologic and Resource Analog Investigations in Low Light Environments project, also known as BRAILLE, while on deployment. Operated out of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, the BRAILLE team is developing the capability to detect life on the walls of volcanic caves from afar. To do this, they’re venturing into North America’s largest network of lava tubes, with the goal of advancing efforts to search for life elsewhere in the universe.

But beyond helping us pinpoint the best spots to search for life, these caves could bring us one step closer to a permanent presence on the Moon and safe exploration at Mars – the ultimate goal of the Artemis program. If you decide to use a lava ledge with your pet rat, it is important to take steps to ensure their safety. Here are some tips for using lava ledges safely with your pet rat: Orbital satellite data suggests that there are a lot of these lava tubes on Mars,” said Blank. “If there is life there, those tubes are a good place to look. And if there was life in Mars’ ancient past, that’s where it’s most likely to be preserved.” The most viscous lavas grow into domes, which are forced upwards (simply by pressure from the underlying magma) through the vent to form a protruding plug or spine. The weight of the growing plug or spine starts a collapse. The spine loses material from its sides and top, and crashes down around the base. Some domes expand outwards as well as upwards by inflation of the hot underlying magma. The Tarawera Complex on the North Island of New Zealand is an excellent example. Lava domes grow relatively slowly, about 1 m - 2 m per day. Submarine lavas We also have a selection of wooden shelves, the corner wooden shelf is even big enough for rabbits and guinea pigs. A ledge allows your pet somewhere to sit up off the floor which can be cold or damp.The westernmost lobe of the western flow is currently advancing parallel to the end of Chain of Craters Road inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This flow lobe is also inflating and probably will overtop the highway and flow to the ocean, where it will cascade over a high sea cliff. We suspect that this flow should reach the ocean within the next few days. Because the active lava flows occur right at the end of the road, the viewing for visitors has been convenient and close-up. If you have a pet with long nails the sanded surfaces keep them nice and trim and they love the feel of the different textures under their feet, this can help avoid sores. The lava has been more-or-less evenly divided between the eastern and the central flow lobes for most of the past month. There have also been several short-lived channelized 'a'a flows high on Pulama Pali. Much of the volume of new lava has inflated the flows along the nearly flat coastal plain. Flows inflate when new lava moves underneath previously formed lava crusts and lifts the crust upward. There are numerous small surface breakouts of lava inland on the coastal plain along each of the two main flow lobes.

If your rat can chew on something, you can bet they will. That’s one of the reasons it’s so essential to buy products that can’t hurt your little rodent. Size - Consider the size of the lava ledge in relation to your pet's cage and the size of your pet. A ledge that is too large or too small can pose a hazard to your pet.Platforms and shelves for rats come in wood, sanded materials and lava forms so there is something different to add to your rat cage or pets enclosure.
