The Leyla house is made of untreated birch wood, and its removable roof allows for easy nest control.

Prevent subsidence: put your Getzoo house on legs

These legs (stilts) are placed under Getzoo (multi-room) houses. This raises the house above the ground, keeps it stable, and prevents rooms and entrances from sinking when actively digging.

Is the Multi-Room House suitable for Hamsterscaping?

Yes, absolutely! The Multi-Room House is perfect for Hamsterscaping ! Hamsterscaping is all about creating a natural environment that meets the animals' natural needs. One of these needs is shelter. Just like in the wild, the multi-room house provides the animals with multiple rooms where they can build their nests and storage, for example. Furthermore, small rodents are prey animals that like to escape and hide. They don't just do this when they're startled, but they also generally prefer multiple hiding places.

❤ TIP ❤
We always love placing a piece of dried moss on the roof or platform. It gives the house a beautiful, natural look and fits perfectly with a natural interior!

Why a multi-room house for small rodents?

Small rodents like mice and dwarf hamsters like to store food near their nests. In the wild, these animals live in burrows and have a dedicated chamber for storing food, called a larder. Multi-chambered houses therefore mimic the animals' natural habitat and allow them to use multiple chambers.

For group animals (mice), multi-room houses offer an added advantage: the ability to avoid each other in case of disagreements or conflict. Although group animals enjoy being together, disagreements can occasionally arise, making them less comfortable with each other's presence. For these moments, multiple rooms are ideal, allowing the animals to retreat to their own room.

Why a removable roof?

A removable roof allows you to peek inside the house without disturbing the nest. You can then quickly check if any old food supplies need to be removed, as fresh vegetables are particularly perishable. With a removable roof, this is done quickly, and the small rodents are not disturbed because you don't have to lift the entire house. Moreover, the nest can be inspected undisturbed if there are any offspring.

Why is an opening in the roof good for rodents?

In the wild, danger usually comes from above, so small rodents like to hide as quickly as possible. This was taken into account in the development of the Multi-Room House, with an opening in the roof allowing the animals to quickly hide when danger threatens, giving them a sense of security.

What is the advantage of a flat roof?

The flat roof of the House has the advantage of being a stable place to place a small food or water bowl, for example, but it is also a nice place to put a snack or place the exercise wheel, and in the summer a cooling stone can be placed.

Are the openings large enough for the cheek pouches?

Yes, absolutely! The Multi-Chamber House has openings of approximately 5 cm in diameter, which is large enough for Dwarf hamsters (Roborovski, Russian, Campbell, and Chinese) to walk through with full cheek pouches. It's crucial that the openings in a house are large enough. If the entrances to a hamster house are too small, the hamster will have to squeeze through. The hoarded grains can damage the mucous membranes lining the cheek pouches, which can lead to abscesses.

What is the best way to clean the wooden house?

A wooden house can be easily cleaned, depending on how the animals use it. Animals can use the house as shelters, in which case it will remain relatively clean. They can also use it as food storage, a sleeping area, and, if you're really unlucky, as a toilet , though that doesn't happen very often. If the animals do leave a puddle, which is common with mice, we recommend a urine spray . This breaks down the animal urine and cleans the wood.

Can this multi-room house be used for group animals?

Yes, that's definitely possible! For herd animals (mice), we always recommend providing at least one large house in the enclosure that all the animals can fit together. Herd animals like to be together and often hide and sleep together. By providing them with at least one large house like this, we meet this important natural need.

Which rodents is the Multi-Room House suitable for?

The Multi-Room House is a spacious house with multiple rooms that is suitable as a sleeping or shelter for Mice and Dwarf Hamsters .
