Rodent Hanging Cube Clara for Mice & Pygmy Rats

The Clara Rodent Hanging Cube is a soft hanging spot for mice and pygmy rats. In this cozy cube, your pet can retreat, sleep, or lie down for a while in shelter. Thanks to the soft sheepskin look, the hanging cube feels warm and comfortable, while the cube shape provides a nice, secure spot.

For mice, the Clara Hanging Cube is particularly nice as a soft sleeping place higher up in the enclosure. Mice are true climbers and enjoy using different levels and resting spots. For dwarf rats, the larger size is especially interesting, depending on the actual body size of your animals.

What use does your pet have for this hanging cube?

A hanging cube provides your animal with a soft, sheltered resting place at an elevated level. This is especially well-suited for climbing animals such as mice and pygmy rats. They enjoy using routes, platforms, branches, ladders, and hanging spots to actively explore their enclosure.

The cube shape feels enclosed. As a result, your animal can lie inside peacefully, alone or together, depending on the size and group composition. For mice, the hanging cube can become a nice shared sleeping place. For dwarf rats, it is primarily an extra soft resting spot in a well-furnished cage.

Why owners choose this

For pet owners, the Clara Hanging Cube is an easy way to add extra comfort and utilize additional height. You hang the cube from the bars or suitable attachment points and immediately create a cozy spot above the floor.

At DRD, when it comes to textile products, we always consider the behavior and size of the animal. This hanging cube is particularly suitable for mice and pygmy rats, as they are good climbers and often logically use soft hanging spots as resting or sleeping places.

Which size do you choose?

Choose the size based on your animal's body size. The hanging cube must be large enough for it to crawl in and out easily and lie down comfortably.

For mice: a cozy sleeping spot at a height

Mice are climbing animals and enjoy using various heights in their enclosure. The Clara Hanging Cube can therefore be nicely incorporated into a route with platforms, ladders, branches, suspension bridges, or other hanging spots.

Hang the cube so that your mice can easily get in and out of it. An easily accessible hanging spot is often used more quickly than a spot that hangs loosely in the room without a clear route to it.

For dwarf rats: choose based on size and build

For dwarf rats, the larger size is particularly interesting. Because dwarf rats can vary in size and build, it is important to observe your animals. The cube must be spacious enough for them to crawl and lie down comfortably.

Use the hanging cube as an extra soft resting place alongside other furnishings, such as platforms, hammocks, tunnels, houses, and foraging material. This way, your dwarf rats can choose for themselves where they want to sleep or rest.

For which animals is the Clara Rodent Hanging Cube suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a soft hangout, sleeping place, and sheltered resting spot in an enclosure with safe routes.
• Dwarf hamster: not suitable. For dwarf hamsters, we prefer deep bedding, natural nesting material, and sturdy hiding places.
• Hamster: not suitable. Hamsters often do not use textiles as a place to hang out and can drag soft materials to the nest.
• Gerbil: not suitable. Gerbils are real destroyers and will likely gnaw textiles to pieces quickly.
• Dwarf ridge: suitable as a soft hanging and resting place, depending on actual body size and the chosen size.
• Rat: not suitable. This hanging cube is too small for common rats; choose a larger hammock, tunnel, or hanging cube instead.
• Guinea pig: not suitable. Low tunnels, houses, baskets, or resting places are more practical for guinea pigs.
• Rabbit: not suitable. For rabbits, you should preferably choose a low tunnel, a lying mat, or a spacious resting surface.
• Chinchilla: not suitable. Sturdy platforms, tunnels, and hiding places usually make more sense for chinchillas.
• Degu: not suitable. For degus, we prefer sturdy platforms, tunnels, and gnawing material.

How do you hang the Clara Hanging Cube?

Securely attach the cube to the bars or to suitable attachment points in the enclosure. Ensure your animal can easily access it via a route. For mice and pygmy rats, a hanging cube works best when it is not hung in isolation, but is logically connected to other furnishings.

Textile inspection: how to keep the hanging cube pleasant to use

Textile remains most comfortable when your pet uses it to lie in or to sleep peacefully. Check occasionally to ensure the fabric, seams, and suspension remain neat. Pay particular attention to the entry opening and the areas where your pet frequently lies.

Do you notice your pet pulling on the fabric a lot or pulling off pieces? Then a sturdier alternative is often a better fit. Think of wooden houses, cork tunnels, ceramic hiding places, sturdy hanging spots, or natural furnishings.

Combine with other Clara items

The Clara Hanging Cube pairs beautifully with other soft resting spots in the same style, such as the Clara hammock, igloo, tunnel, or hanging tunnel. This way, you can create a complete soft resting corner for mice or pygmy rats that like to lie comfortably.

For mice, for example, you can create a route with a hanging cube, a small tunnel, a small ladder, and a platform. For pygmy rats, it is better to combine the hanging cube with wider platforms, sturdy steps, and a larger hammock or tunnel as an extra resting place.

Cleaning and maintenance

The Clara Hanging Cube can be hand-washed. First, remove hair, bedding, and loose dirt. Wash the cube gently and let it dry completely before hanging it back up.

Preferably use the hanging cube in a place where it does not constantly get wet. This way, it stays fresh and remains a pleasant resting place for longer.
