HayPigs Harlequin Plasmat Set of 3 for rodents & rabbits

HayPigs Harlequin Plasmat Set of 3 for rodents & rabbits

The HayPigs Harlequin Pee Mat Set of 3 is a handy set for pet owners who prefer a cleaner, more comfortable, and more practical way to work. You get three different mats in one set: a large mat for your lap, a square pee mat for favorite pee spots, and a smaller drip mat for under a water bottle. This allows you to use this set in multiple ways without having to fiddle with individual products.

The mats feel soft thanks to the fleece material and have an absorbent core with a waterproof layer on the inside. This makes them ideal for temporary use in places where you need some extra protection, such as during cuddles, in a carrier, in a run, or on a regular resting or peeing spot for a guinea pig, rat, or rabbit. Because the mats are reversible, they're also practical for everyday use. Simply turning them over can be handy if you need to quickly change gears, after which you can easily wash them later.

✔ Set of 3 different mats for multiple uses
✔ Soft fleece upper for extra comfort
✔ Absorbent padding with waterproof inner layer
✔ Reversible and therefore practical to use
✔ Handy for lap, transport box, run or favourite corners
✔ Washable at 30°C

Why choose the HayPigs Harlequin Plasmat Set of 3?

Many pet owners aren't just looking for something that looks good, but also something that's truly practical for everyday use. This set excels at that. Instead of just one standard mat, you have three sizes, each with its own unique function. The large lap mat is great for taking your pet on your lap or for extra protection during a health check, nail check, or quiet time together. The middle mat is handy for favorite spots where pets like to sit or pee. The smallest mat is ideal under a water bottle, preventing water droplets from soaking into the ground.

This makes this set especially appealing to pet owners who like to work cleanly and practically, but also value their pet's comfort. The fleece upper feels soft, and the inner layer helps absorb moisture. This makes this set ideal as additional protection in specific areas. It's not a replacement for regular bedding in every enclosure, but rather a smart addition for targeted applications.

Which animals is this set suitable for?

• Mice, dwarf hamsters, and hamsters: especially useful as a lap mat or in a carrier. Less practical in the enclosure itself, as small rodents can gnaw through soft materials more easily.
• Gerbil: Suitable for short-term use outside the enclosure or in a transport box. Not the first choice as a separate item in the permanent enclosure, as gerbils often enjoy destroying and gnawing.
• Dwarf rats and rats: good to use as a soft place to lie down, a pee mat, or a mat in a transport box, provided you regularly check that the mat remains clean.
• Guinea pig: very handy for fixed corners, under a shelter, in a run, or in a carrier. Also nice for guinea pigs that prefer softer surfaces.
• Rabbit: Suitable as an extra mat in favorite resting spots, in a run, in the carrier, or on a lap. Especially useful if you want some extra protection locally.
• Chinchillas and degus: best used only temporarily and under supervision. These animals can quickly destroy soft materials, making a loose mat in the enclosure less suitable.

Use & maintenance

Use the HayPigs pee pads primarily where they're most beneficial: under a water bottle, on your lap, in a carrier, or in a favorite spot for lying or peeing. This keeps things organized and allows you to get the most out of the set. For animals that rarely chew on soft pads, such as many guinea pigs, rats, and rabbits, the middle pad can also work well as a permanent pee pad in a corner. For real destructive animals, temporary use is usually wiser.

Before washing, it's helpful to brush hay, bedding, hair, and droppings off the mat. Then, machine wash the mats at 30°C, preferably in a laundry bag. Then let them air-dry, in the sun, or on a radiator. This way, they stay comfortable and you'll quickly have a fresh set ready to go.

Material & dimensions

• Material: fleece
• Large lap mat: approx. 35.5 x 35.5 cm

Good to know

This set is primarily intended as a practical addition and not as permanent bedding for every animal. For animals that like to destroy or chew on fabric, it's wise to only use the mats temporarily and check them regularly for wear and tear. If a mat is damaged or gnawed loose, it's best not to offer it. This keeps its use safe and organized.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these pee mats as full ground coverage?

That's not really what they're designed for. This set works best as a supplement in specific places, such as under a water bottle, in a carrier, on a lap, or in a favorite resting or peeing spot.

Which animals would benefit most from this set?

Rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, in particular, find this very helpful in practice, as they often use these mats in permanent locations. For small rodents and animals that like to destruct, temporary use is usually more practical.

How do I wash the HayPigs Harlequin Puddle Mats?

First, brush off any loose debris from the mats. Then you can wash them at 30°C, preferably in a laundry bag. Let them air dry.
