Natural Hay House for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Natural Hay House for Rodents & Rabbits

JR Farm Hooihuis Naturel is a natural shelter and gnawing house for rodents and rabbits. The house is made with mountain meadow hay, lignocellulose, and plant starch. This provides your animal with a sheltered place to crawl into, as well as a sturdy, fiber-rich structure to sniff, pull, and nibble on.

This natural variant has no vegetable, fruit, or flower topping. This makes it a calm choice when you are primarily looking for a natural hay house as a shelter and for enrichment. You can place the house separately in the enclosure, partially incorporate it into the bedding, or combine it with some hay and herbs around the entrance.

You can choose from three sizes: small, medium, and large. The small version is a nice fit for small rodents such as hamsters, dwarf hamsters, and mice. The medium version is suitable for animals such as guinea pigs, rats, and degus. The large version offers more space and is therefore suitable for larger rodents and rabbits, depending on the size of your animal.

Why choose JR Farm Hay House Naturel?

A nice shelter gives your animal a place to retreat for a while. This is especially pleasant for animals that like shelter, such as hamsters, mice, gerbils, guinea pigs, degus, rats, and rabbits. JR Farm Hooihuis Naturel combines that shelter with natural materials that animals can also nibble on.

The little house has a sturdy structure and can be used for sniffing, pulling, and nibbling. Because this variant has no topping, the product remains calm and simple. This is nice if you are primarily looking for a natural house and might want to offer some hay, herbs, or foraging material around the house yourself.

You can place the hay house loosely in the enclosure, partially nestled among the bedding, or use it as part of a natural setup. For extra foraging fun, you can place a small amount of hay or suitable herbs around the entrance. This way, the little house immediately becomes part of the daily sniffing and searching.

Because JR Farm Hooihuis Naturel is also a complementary food, it does not replace main feed or daily hay. View it primarily as natural enrichment: a hiding place, nibbling spot, and discovery spot all in one.

For which animals is the hay house suitable?

JR Farm Hooihuis Naturel is suitable as natural enrichment for rodents and rabbits. Choose the size that suits the animal and the enclosure.

• Hamsters and dwarf hamsters: the small variety usually makes a nice hiding and gnawing house.
• Mice: the small variant is nice as a natural hiding place and place of discovery.
• Gerbils: choose an appropriate size depending on the group size and the enclosure.
• Guinea pigs: the medium-sized variety often makes a good place to chew and hide.
• Degus: the medium-sized variant is suitable as a natural gnawing structure and hiding place.
• Rats and pygmy rats: usually choose medium or large, depending on the size of the animals.
• Rabbits: the large variant can be used as a natural nibbling and exploration spot, depending on the size of your rabbit.

Usage & placement

Place the hay house in a dry spot in the enclosure. Set it down firmly so that your animal can easily get in and out. For animals that like to dig, you can partially incorporate the house into the bedding for a natural look.

Do you want to turn it into a foraging moment? Then place some hay or suitable herbs around the entrance. Your animal will then have to sniff and search, making the little house even more interesting.

Inspect the hay house regularly during use. Remove loose, wet, or dirty debris to keep the enclosure fresh. If the house has been heavily gnawed on or no longer stays tidy, you can replace it.
