Plush Cube House Striped 20 cm for rats

The Striped Plush Cube House 20 cm is a soft plush cube house for rats who like to lie sheltered, warm, and comfortably. The cube shape creates a cozy spot where your rat can crawl in to sleep, rest, or lie out of sight for a while. Additionally, the striped design gives the enclosure a calm, playful appearance.

At DRD, when it comes to soft sleeping spots, we focus primarily on size, entry, material, and how the animal uses the spot. This cube house measures approximately 20 × 16 × 20 cm, has an opening of approximately 7.5 × 7.5 cm, and is made of plush. The house has no open bottom and is used as a separate soft resting place on the bottom of the cage, on a wide platform, or in a quiet corner of the rat cage. Inside, there is a removable cushion, making it easier to shake out and clean the resting spot.

Why choose the Plush Cube House?

Rats like to use multiple resting spots in their cage. Sometimes they lie together in a hammock, other times they prefer to curl up separately in a little house, basket, or soft cube. This Plush Cube House gives your rat one of these extra comfortable spots of choice: soft, sheltered, and easy to set up.

The cube shape makes the little house just a bit more enclosed than an open basket. This allows your rat to really crawl inside and lie down more peacefully. This suits rats well who like to have their own spot, but still want to be able to get in and out easily.

The removable cushion makes the house more practical to use. You can remove the cushion separately, shake it out, and clean it according to the instructions on the washing label. This is handy, because rats often use soft spots extensively, and hair, bedding, or small debris can end up in them.

For which animals is this cube house suitable?

• Rat: suitable as a soft, loose cube, resting place, or extra lying spot in the cage. Place the house on a dry, flat surface and check regularly that the fabric, seams, and cushion remain clean.

For dwarf rats, the house may be suitable if the body size aligns well with the opening and interior space. Because dwarf rats can vary in size and build, the actual size of the animal remains the determining factor.

For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, degus, and ferrets, you would prefer to choose a different house, basket, tunnel, or larger sleeping place that better suits their size, behavior, and movement.

Use for rats

Place the cube house on a dry, flat spot in the rat cage. This can be on the bottom, but also on a wide and stable platform. Preferably choose a quiet spot where your rat can easily reach it and where the house will not constantly become covered in bedding or food scraps.

Use the cube as an extra sleeping spot alongside other resting places. Rats are social animals, but they do not always want to lie in exactly the same spot. By offering multiple options, they can choose for themselves whether to sleep together, rest separately, hang high up, or lie sheltered below.

Some rats use plush products very neatly as sleeping places. Other rats like to pull at fabric, drag cushions around, or gnaw on seams. Therefore, observe your own pets closely and check the cage regularly.

How do you use the cube house?

• Place the house on a dry, flat surface.
• Use it as an extra resting place, not as the only shelter.
• Ensure that the opening remains easily accessible.
• Preferably use the cottage in an indoor shelter or dry indoor space.
• Shake out hair, bedding, and debris regularly.
• Remove the cushion when you want to clean it separately.
• Let the little house and the cushion dry completely before putting them back.
• Regularly check the fabric, seams, cushion, and filling for wear.

A soft cube remains most pleasant when kept dry and clean. Therefore, it is best not to place the house directly next to a water bottle, litter box, or wet corner. This way, the resting place stays fresh and comfortable for longer.

Materials and maintenance

The Plush Cube House is made of soft plush and has a removable cushion. Plush feels warm and comfortable, but can trap hair, dust, and bedding. Shaking it out regularly helps keep the house tidy.

The inner cushion can be hand-washed. Clean the house and the cushion according to the instructions on the washing label. Allow both parts to dry thoroughly before placing them back in the enclosure. While cleaning, immediately check that the seams, fabric, and filling are still intact.

Good to know

This cube house is soft and comfortable, but not chew-proof. That is normal for plush products. Use it primarily for rats that handle fabric materials carefully, and remove it when clear wear appears.

Do you see loose fibers, holes, broken seams, or filling coming loose? Then it is time to remove the house from the enclosure. This way, the interior remains pleasant, organized, and suited to your animals' behavior.
