Trixie Food and Water Bowl Black Deluxe Wood 28 cm

The Trixie Food and Water Bowl Black Deluxe Wood 28 cm is a stylish and practical set featuring two black ceramic bowls on a wooden platform. The combination of ceramic and wood gives the enclosure a calm, well-maintained appearance, while the bowls are convenient for daily food, water, vegetables, or herbs. Thanks to the platform, the bowls stand together, immediately giving the eating area a neat, fixed place in the enclosure.

When it comes to food and water bowls, DRD focuses primarily on stability, ease of use, and placement within the enclosure. This set is particularly attractive for guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets, but can also be used for other rodents provided the size suits the animal and the enclosure setup. The ceramic bowls are heavier than plastic ones, making them less likely to slide around. The wooden platform gives the set a natural look and helps keep the feeding and drinking area tidy.

Why choose a food and water bowl on a platform?

A designated food and water area provides calm and clarity in the enclosure. Your animal knows where the food or water is, and you can quickly see if the bowls are still clean and filled. This is especially useful for guinea pigs and rabbits, as they may receive various types of food daily, such as pellets, hay, vegetables, and herbs.

The two separate ceramic bowls make the set flexible to use. You can use one bowl for food and the other for water, but you can also choose kibble and vegetables, herbs and vegetables, or two separate portions when multiple animals are eating at the same time. Because the bowls are removable, you can easily clean them without having to wash the entire tray thoroughly.

The wooden tray makes the set look especially beautiful in a natural interior. Particularly in a guinea pig or rabbit enclosure where you work with calm materials, wooden houses, hay corners, and natural accessories, this set fits neatly into the overall picture. The black ceramic bowls add a luxurious look without becoming overwhelming.

For which animals is this food and water bowl suitable?

• Guinea pig: very suitable as a feeding station for pellets, vegetables, herbs, or water. The bowls are spacious enough for daily portions, and the platform keeps the eating area neatly organized.
• Rabbit: suitable for pellets, vegetables, herbs, or water. For larger rabbits, it is advisable to check if 0.2 liters per bowl suits daily use; for extra water, an additional water bowl or drinking bottle may be useful.
• Ferret: suitable as a sturdy food and water bowl set, especially when you want to create a neat, fixed eating area. Place the set stably and check that your ferret does not move the bowls too easily.
• Rat: may be suitable for larger rat enclosures, for example for vegetables, dry food, or water. Place the set on a stable spot and check if the size fits the setup.
• Dwarf rat: may be suitable if the size and height suit your dwarf rat. Because dwarf rats can vary in size, it is wise to check carefully whether they can comfortably reach the bowls.

For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, this set is usually on the large side. For these smaller animals, compact food and water bowls are often more practical. Ceramic can be pleasant for chinchillas and degus, but the wooden platform is something to keep an extra eye on, as these animals may actively gnaw on wood.

How do you use the food and water bowl set?

Place the wooden tray on a stable, flat, and dry surface. Securely place the bowls in the tray and fill them with the desired contents. For example, use one bowl for food and one for water, or use both bowls for different types of food. For guinea pigs and rabbits, you can also use one bowl for vegetables or herbs, especially when feeding multiple animals at the same time.

Clean the ceramic bowls daily or whenever they are visibly dirty. This is especially important for water, vegetables, and fresh produce. You can wipe the wooden tray with a slightly damp cloth and then allow it to dry thoroughly. Preferably, do not place the tray in a wet toilet area or on persistently damp bedding, so that the wood remains beautiful.

Are you using this set for guinea pigs or rabbits? Then combine the feeding area with a good hay corner. Hay remains the basis of the daily diet for these animals, whereas this set is particularly useful for water, pellets, vegetables, or herbs. For this, also check out our hay varieties and rodent and rabbit herbs .

What can you put in the containers?

The two ceramic bowls are suitable for various uses. You can use them for daily kibble, water, vegetables, herbs, or small portions of supplementary snacks. Because the bowls can be removed individually from the tray, you can easily switch between different uses.

For guinea pigs, the set is handy for pellets and vegetables, or for herbs next to the hay corner. For rabbits, you can use the bowls for pellets, water, or vegetables. For ferrets, the set is suitable for food and water. When it comes to water, always pay attention to your animal's daily needs and refill it in time when the bowl runs empty.
