Trixie Ceramic house for small rodents!

The ceramic house supports the regulation of body temperature on hot days. Summers can sometimes get very hot, so it is good to give small rodents a place in the enclosure where they can cool down. A big advantage of a ceramic house is the closed shape. The animals can withdraw into it, cool down and maintain a sense of security.

✔ Cooling off during hot days
✔ Removable roof
✔ Cozy place to sleep

Ceramics are cool in the summer and warm in the winter!

Strangely enough, ceramics are nice and warm in the winter when the animals make their nests in it. This is due to the very good insulating effect of ceramics. It is not for nothing that nowadays houses are also built with ceramic bricks because of their superior insulation in both winter and summer.

Can rodents tolerate heat well?

Rodents have only a low heat tolerance. In nature, the animals retreat to the cooling, underground burrow when it is warm - this effect can be simulated with a cold store. In the summer, a cold store offers pleasant cooling.

Why a removable roof?

Thanks to a removable roof you can take a look inside the house without disturbing the nest. You can then check whether there are older food stocks that need to be removed, especially fresh vegetables are very perishable. With a removable roof this is done quickly and the small rodents are not disturbed because you do not have to lift the whole house. In addition, the nest can be inspected undisturbed if there are offspring.

What is ceramic?

Ceramic is glazed pottery. The difference between terracotta and ceramic is that ceramic is glazed and terracotta is not glazed. The glaze layer makes ceramics strong, water-resistant, insulating and easy to clean. The biggest advantage for us is that urine cannot absorb into the material. Any pee can be removed in this way, because they retract.
