Grass House Rabbit House Water Hyacinth for Rodents!

Grashuis Hoek Water Hyacinth for rodents and rabbits

The Grashuis Hoek Waterhyacint is a natural shelter for rodents and rabbits. Thanks to its corner shape, you can easily place the house in a corner of the enclosure, allowing you to make smart use of the space while simultaneously creating a nice, sheltered spot. The house is made of sturdy water hyacinth and has an open bottom, so it fits nicely with the bedding and ventilates well.

This grass house is available in three sizes. The green animal logos on the product images show exactly which size is suitable for which animals. This is important because a mouse or dwarf hamster needs a very different size house than, for example, a guinea pig, rabbit, chinchilla, or degu. This way, you choose not only a nice house, but above all, one that truly suits your animal.

Why choose a water hyacinth grass house?

Water hyacinth has a sturdy, robust structure. As a result, this house feels natural, yet it retains its shape better than many simple grass products. Reinforcement with thick and safely processed metal wire helps the house maintain its shape, even when your pet actively uses it, sits inside, sniffs at it, or nibbles on it.

A chewable house adds significant value to an enclosure. Animals do not always use a house exactly as we place it. They can enlarge the entrance slightly, pull off material, modify the edges, or make the house part of their own route. This aligns with natural behavior and makes the house more interesting than a purely decorative item.

The corner shape is particularly practical. In many enclosures, corners remain unused, even though a corner can be a nice sheltered spot. By placing the grass house in a corner, you keep the center of the enclosure free for walking, foraging, digging, or playing. This makes this little house convenient for both small scapes and larger enclosures.

Which size do you choose?

The Grashuis Corner Water Hyacinth is available in three sizes. Always choose the size that suits the body size and use of your animal. The green animal logos on the product image are the guiding factor here: they indicate for which animals the chosen size is intended.

Undecided between two sizes? Then it is better to choose something slightly larger. A hideout should be easily accessible and offer enough space to sit, turn around, or take shelter comfortably.

For which animals is the Grashuis Hoek Waterhyacint suitable?

• Mouse: suitable when you choose the right small size. Mice like to use multiple hiding places and routes. A small corner house fits nicely in a mouse enclosure with tunnels, branches, and foraging spots.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a natural hiding place in a hamsterscape, provided the chosen size fits. Place the house, for example, in a corner next to a sand zone, digging layer, or cork tunnel.
• Hamster: suitable when the size is spacious enough for your Syrian hamster. Pay close attention to the size and do not automatically choose the smallest variant.
• Gerbil: suitable as a chewable corner house and landscaping material. Gerbils can actively modify the house, which suits their destructive and digging behavior well.
• Dwarf rat: suitable when the chosen size matches the size of your dwarf rat. Dwarf rats can vary in build and size, so preferably choose a size that is large enough.
• Rat: suitable as a natural shelter or gnawing house when you choose an appropriately larger size. Use the house, for example, in a Ratscaping corner or on the floor of the enclosure.
• Guinea pig: suitable in the larger size as a hiding place or chew house. Place the house stably on the floor, for example in a quiet corner or next to the hay corner.
• Rabbit: suitable in the largest size as a natural hiding and nibbling spot, depending on the size of your rabbit. This can be especially fun as an extra house or corner hiding place in a spacious run.
• Chinchilla: suitable if the size is right and the house stands stably on the floor or in a safe place. Chinchillas like to use natural materials to explore and nibble on.
• Degu: suitable as a natural gnawing and hiding house in an appropriate size. Degus are active gnawers, so check the house regularly for signs of wear.

Please note: not every size is suitable for every animal. The green logos in the images indicate, for each size, which animals that specific house is intended for.

Use & placement in the enclosure

Place the Water Hyacinth Corner Grass House stably in a corner of the enclosure. Thanks to the open bottom, the house fits in nicely with the bedding. Small animals can pull bedding or nesting material against it themselves, while larger animals primarily use the house as a hiding place, resting spot, or nibbling area.

For hamsters and gerbils, the house fits nicely into a natural scape with cork, sand, deep bedding, and foraging spots. For rats and pygmy rats, you can use the house in a Ratscaping zone, for example on the bottom of the cage or in a digging box-like setup. For guinea pigs and rabbits, the house works well in a quiet corner, next to hay, or on a soft, dry surface.

For chinchillas and degus, use the house primarily as a dry, natural hiding and gnawing spot. Place it down firmly and combine it with hay, platforms, tunnels, and suitable gnawing material.

Good to know

This little house is intended as a hiding place, resting place, and chewable enrichment. Check the house regularly for wear and tear, especially with animals that like to gnaw a lot. As long as the house remains sturdy and can be used properly, gnawing is part of normal use.

Has the house pulled apart badly, become very wet, or is the reinforcement no longer neatly covered by the wickerwork? Then it is time to replace the house. This way, the interior remains pleasant, organized, and suitable for your pet.
