Why choose a resin shelter?

A good enclosure setup consists of more than just a substrate and a food bowl. Small rodents need sheltered spots where they can retreat, rest, and feel safe. This Rainforest Shelter helps create such a quiet place without the enclosure looking busy or cluttered.

The rock look makes the house particularly suitable for a natural interior. You can combine it with cork, moss, sand, wood, tunnels, and a thick layer of bedding. This creates an enclosure with more routes and hiding places, where your animal can choose for itself where to walk, shelter, or sleep.

Resin is a hard and dimensionally stable material. Many small rodents find this material less attractive to gnaw on than softer materials. As a result, the shape often remains beautiful for a long time, and the house is practical as a permanent part of a scape.

For which animals is the Rainforest Hideout 16 cm suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a small hiding place, waypoint, and natural house. Mice can shelter inside, walk past it, and use it as part of a setup with multiple hiding spots.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a compact hiding place in hamsterscaping. Place the house low and stable on or partially in the bedding, so that your dwarf hamster can easily get in and out.

For Syrian hamsters, gerbils, rats, dwarf rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, degus, and ferrets, this hiding place is too small as a house. For these animals, you would prefer to choose a larger rock, a more spacious hideout, a tunnel, or another enclosure component that better suits their body size and movement patterns.

Usage & placement

Place the Rainforest Shelter low and stable in the enclosure. Place the shelter on a flat surface or press it lightly into the bedding so that it cannot slide or sink. Thanks to the open bottom, you can beautifully integrate the shelter into a thick layer of bedding.

For dwarf hamsters, you can use the little house as an extra hiding place next to a larger main house, tunnel, or multi-chamber house. It is especially nice as a small waypoint or resting spot in a natural setting. For mice, the house can also be part of a playful route with tunnels, branches, and other hiding places.

Use the roof only as it naturally forms part of the layout. Do not place the house high up and do not turn it into a step leading to a dangerous falling point. Placing it low and stable remains most comfortable for small rodents.

Ideal for hamsterscaping

Hamsterscaping is all about an enclosure that looks natural and works logically for the animal. Think of deep bedding, hiding places, tunnels, sand, moss, cork, and clear pathways. The Rainforest Hideout 16 cm fits in nicely as a small rocky shelter.

For example, you can place the little house next to a sandbox, put it by a tunnel opening, or partially incorporate it between ground cover and moss. This way, it looks less like a separate accessory and more like a natural part of the landscape.

Material: synthetic resin

The shelter is made of synthetic resin. This is a sturdy material that suits products with a rock structure well. It absorbs moisture less quickly than many natural materials and is therefore easy to wipe clean.

Regularly check the house for wear, damage, or sharp edges. If there is a sharp edge, you can carefully sand it smooth or replace the product if necessary.

Cleaning and maintenance

Preferably clean the resin shelter with lukewarm water. Wipe the house with a cloth or rinse it gently. Let it dry completely before placing it back in the enclosure.

Preferably do not use harsh cleaning agents. If you do use a cleaning agent, rinse the house very well and let it dry thoroughly. Always check the opening, edges, and bottom after cleaning.

Good to know

Always place the Rainforest Shelter 16 cm low and stable. Check regularly for wear, damage, and sharp edges. Use the house as a shelter and landscaping element, not as a high climbing platform.
