Why choose this grey rabbit house?

Rabbits and guinea pigs need sheltered spots in their enclosure. A small house provides peace and quiet, makes the layout clearer, and offers a place where your animal can retreat for a moment. In a run or spacious enclosure, it is pleasant to create multiple zones: a hay corner, walking routes, resting spots, and hiding places. This house helps to clearly define such a designated resting spot.

The two entrances are a significant advantage. Many animals appreciate it when a house does not have just one entrance. A second opening provides a better overview and makes it easier to walk through the house. This is especially nice for guinea pigs, as they like to be able to quickly get in and out of a sheltered spot. A second entrance can also be pleasant for rabbits, especially when the house is located in a run where they use different routes.

The flat roof gives the little house an extra function. Many rabbits and guinea pigs enjoy using a flat roof as a resting place, lookout point, or stepping stone. This not only adds a shelter but also a small extra level to the interior. The grey colour makes the whole look calm and neat, ensuring the house fits beautifully into a natural outdoor run or a tidy indoor setting.

For which animals is this house suitable?

• Rabbit: suitable as an extra hiding place, resting spot, or lookout post in an outdoor run, indoor run, or spacious enclosure. Due to its size, this model is more spacious than the smaller house in the same series. However, for larger rabbits, always check carefully whether the opening and interior space are comfortable for your animal.
• Guinea pig: very suitable as a spacious shelter in an indoor enclosure, outdoor run, or for guinea pigs. The two entrances make the house extra pleasant for guinea pigs, as they can easily walk through and are not restricted to a single exit.
• Chinchilla: can only be used in a dry, covered indoor enclosure if the size and furnishings are suitable. Chinchillas must not be kept in damp conditions and may actively gnaw on wood, so check the house regularly.

For small rodents such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, and gerbils, this house is usually too large and less suitable for their living style. Smaller houses, tunnels, and natural hiding places are often more logical for these animals. A wooden house can be interesting for rats and pygmy rats, but this model is structurally stronger for guinea pigs and rabbits. Look for suitable alternatives under houses for rodents .

How do you use the rabbit house?

Place the house on a stable, flat, and as dry a surface as possible. In an outdoor run, for example, you can place the house in a sheltered spot so that your animal has a quiet hiding place. In an indoor run or spacious enclosure, you can use it as part of the furnishings, for example next to a hay corner, tunnel, or resting place.

Ensure that both entrances remain easily accessible. That is precisely the strength of this model. Therefore, do not place the house with one opening flush against a wall, unless you deliberately want to use only one entrance. In a guinea pig enclosure, it often works well to position the house so that the guinea pigs can walk through it and use it as a safe route.

The flat roof can be used for sitting or lying down. Therefore, ensure that the house stands firmly and cannot tip over or sag. Preferably, do not place the house next to a high edge or an awkward spot where it might fall. The roof is intended as a natural extra function of the house: a compact platform that your animal can use on its own.

Combine the house with a logical basic layout, such as suitable bedding and nesting material , a nice hay corner with hay and racks , and sufficient variety in tunnels, resting places, and hiding places.

Use indoors or outdoors

This rabbit house is suitable for outdoor use, but wood remains a natural material. Therefore, preferably place the house in a spot that does not remain constantly wet. In an outdoor run, a sheltered spot often works best. After rainy periods, check whether the house is still dry, sturdy, and tidy.

This house can also be used effectively indoors, for example in a spacious guinea pig run, rabbit run, or larger enclosure setup. The grey wooden design blends seamlessly into the decor, and the flat roof provides extra usable space without the house taking up much extra floor space.

Material & dimensions

• Material: pine wood, stained
• Dimensions according to specifications: approx. 50 × 37 × 30 cm
• Bottom: open bottom
• Entrances: two entrances
• Brand: Trixie
• Use: shelter, resting place, lookout point and dwelling structure

Thanks to the open bottom, the house stands directly on the ground. This is convenient in a run or enclosure, as you can easily move and clean the house around the area where it is located. The two entrances make the house more accessible than a standard house with a single opening.

Cleaning & maintenance

Regularly check the house for dirt, moisture, and signs of wear. Sweep away loose bedding or hay residue and wipe the wood with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Allow the house to dry thoroughly before replacing it or placing bedding against it.

Is the house located outdoors? Then check it more thoroughly after wet periods. Wood can wear out over time due to weather, moisture, and intensive use. By placing the house in the driest possible location, it will remain neat and pleasant to use for longer.

Good to know

Regularly inspect the house for gnaw marks, loose parts, splinters, or damage. Gnaw marks can appear on wooden houses, especially with rabbits, guinea pigs, or other animals that like to nibble on their furnishings. The house is intended as a shelter and resting place, not as gnawing material. Therefore, provide sufficient suitable gnawing material in addition.

Always pay close attention to the size of your animal. A house must be easily accessible and provide enough space to sit comfortably, rest, or take shelter. For larger rabbits, this house is especially suitable as an extra hiding or resting place in a larger environment.
