Thordis Corner House 21 cm for Mice & Dwarf Hamsters

Trixie Corner House Thordis 21 cm for mice and dwarf hamsters

The Trixie Corner House Thordis 21 cm is a small wooden hideout for mice and dwarf hamsters. Thanks to its practical corner shape, you can place the house neatly in a corner of the enclosure. This allows you to use the space efficiently, leaving more room for bedding, tunnels, runways, and other furnishings.

The house has an open bottom, two ramps, and a flat roof. This allows your animal to shelter inside, walk over it, and use the roof as a small platform. For hamsterscaping and a natural interior, this is a nice, compact house, especially when combined with moss, bedding, cork, and small tunnels.

Why choose the Thordis corner house?

A small animal likes to have multiple sheltered spots in its enclosure. Not only for sleeping, but also to sit out of sight for a moment, interrupt a route, or safely choose where to go. The Trixie Hoekhuis Thordis helps to create such a sheltered spot without taking up much space.

The corner shape is particularly useful in smaller or naturally designed enclosures. You utilize a corner that often remains empty and simultaneously create a quiet hiding place. A sheltered space is created underneath the little house, while the roof can be used as an extra layer. In this way, a single product acquires multiple functions.

For dwarf hamsters, this little house is interesting as part of a natural setup with deep bedding, tunnels, and hiding places. For mice, the house can serve as an extra hiding place or waypoint, but for social animals, it remains important to also offer larger communal hiding places.

How do you use the corner house in the enclosure?

• Place the playhouse in a corner of the accommodation for a space-saving layout.
• Place the house directly on the bedding or partially incorporate it into the interior.
• Use the roof as a small platform for a snack, food bowl, or decoration.
• Optionally, place some dried moss on the roof for a natural scape look.
• Check regularly that the cottage remains clean, dry, and sturdy.

Because the house has an open bottom, you can easily place it on the bedding. For dwarf hamsters, it can be nicely integrated into a burrowing layer or tunnel route. For mice, you can combine it with other houses, ladders, platforms, and nesting material to create plenty of choice spots.

For which animals is the Trixie Hoekhuis Thordis 21 cm suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a small shelter, extra waypoint, or resting place. For a group of mice, this is especially nice as an extra house next to a larger communal shelter.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a compact hideout and landscaping element. The house fits well in a dwarf hamster enclosure with bedding, tunnels, and multiple hiding places.

For Syrian hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, this house is too small to serve as a functional shelter. For these animals, it is better to choose a more spacious house or a tunnel that suits their size and movement patterns.
