Bjork House with Two Levels for Small Rodents

Bjork House with two levels for small rodents

Bjork House is a wooden hideout with two levels and a natural look. The house gives small rodents a pleasant place to hide, rest and walk through. The extra level adds more structure to the enclosure, making the house a lovely fit for a natural setup or hamster scaping.

This house is available in two versions: 15 cm and 31 cm. The 15 cm version is suitable for small rodents such as dwarf mice, mice and dwarf hamsters. The 31 cm version is roomier and therefore also suitable for Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters), gerbils, dwarf rats and rats. For all mentioned animals, it is a suitable hideout with two levels, as long as you choose the right size.

Why choose Bjork House?

A good hideout gives your animal calm and choice. Small rodents like having several sheltered spots in the enclosure. They use a house to sit out of sight, sleep, store food or create a safe route through the enclosure.

Bjork House also has a useful extra feature: it consists of two levels. The lower level offers a sheltered space, while the upper level can be used as an extra route point, sitting spot or feeding spot. Animals can walk upwards via the sloped part. This means the house adds not only shelter, but also more structure to the enclosure.

The natural wood look suits owners who like to create a warm, calm and natural setup. Combine the house with bedding, moss, cork, tunnels, branches or a sand area, for example. This helps it become part of the landscape rather than just a loose accessory.

Which size should you choose?

Because Bjork House is available in two sizes, choosing the right size is important. Pick the version that suits your animal’s body size and way of moving.

• 15 cm: suitable for dwarf mice, mice and dwarf hamsters. Approx. 15 × 15 × 16 cm. This version is compact and works well as an extra hideout or scaping element for small animals.
• 31 cm: suitable for mice, dwarf hamsters, Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters), gerbils, dwarf rats and rats. Approx. 31 × 28 × 29 cm. This version is roomier and offers more space to move.

When in doubt between two sizes, choose the roomier version. Especially for Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters), gerbils, dwarf rats and rats, the 31 cm version is the right choice.

Which animals is this product suitable for?

• Mouse: suitable in both sizes. For dwarf mice and regular mice, the 15 cm version already fits well, while the 31 cm version offers extra space and play options.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable in both sizes. The 15 cm version is compact and clear; the 31 cm version offers more room in a natural setup or hamster scaping.
• Hamster: suitable for Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters) in the 31 cm version. This larger version offers the space that better matches the body size of a Syrian Hamster (Golden Hamster).
• Gerbil: suitable in the 31 cm version. Place the house securely and check regularly that it remains stable, as gerbils actively dig and can move bedding.
• Dwarf rat: suitable in the 31 cm version as a hideout with two levels. Place the house low and stable so dwarf rats can safely use it as a route point and resting place.
• Rat: suitable in the 31 cm version as a wooden hideout with an extra level. For groups of rats, it is useful to offer additional spacious hiding places in the enclosure.

How do you use Bjork House?

Place Bjork House low and stable in the enclosure. Put it on a flat surface or press it lightly into the bedding so it stays firmly in place. Thanks to the open bottom, the underside can blend nicely into a digging layer or soft bedding.

For dwarf hamsters and Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters), it is best used as a low hideout and resting point. Hamsters are ground-dwelling animals and often feel comfortable when hideouts are low, sheltered and easy to access. For mice, the house can become part of a route with tunnels, branches and other hiding spots. For gerbils, stability is extra important because they love to dig. For dwarf rats and rats, the 31 cm version is suitable as a wooden hideout with a level and an extra route point.

You can finish the house naturally with a little moss, cork or bedding around the edges. Keep the openings easy to access and regularly check whether food leftovers or nesting material remain in spots your animal uses for storing food.

Material and maintenance

Material: wood / bark wood.

Open bottom: yes.

Wood has a warm and natural appearance, but it does need regular checking. For light dirt, wipe the house with a dry or slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully before placing it back. Avoid harsh cleaning products.

Check the house regularly for gnaw marks, loose parts, splinters or sharp edges. Rodents may gnaw on wooden houses; that is part of the material, but the house should remain safe and sturdy.
