Grass Igloo for Rodents

JR Farm Grass Igloo for Rodents & Rabbits

The JR Farm Grass Igloo is a natural shelter and nibble spot for rodents and rabbits. The igloo is made of mountain meadow hay and miscanthus grass, making it not only fun to crawl into but also interesting to sniff, pull, and nibble on.

You can choose from two sizes: small and large. The small grass igloo is especially suitable for small rodents such as hamsters, dwarf hamsters, and mice. The large grass igloo offers more space and is therefore fun for larger rodents such as rats, degus, and possibly small rabbits, depending on the size of your animal.

A grass igloo provides your animal with a nice sheltered spot in the enclosure. At the same time, the natural material offers extra structure and activity. You can simply place the igloo as a little house, use it as a chew toy, or combine it with hay, herbs, and foraging material around the entrance.

Which size fits your pet?

Choose the size based on the animal, body size, and space in the enclosure. The small variant is compact and fits small rodents nicely. The large variant provides more space and is therefore suitable for animals that prefer a more spacious natural hiding place.

Why choose JR Farm Grass Igloo?

A good hiding place immediately makes an enclosure more pleasant. Many rodents enjoy having a sheltered spot where they can rest, sniff around, or sit out of sight for a while. The JR Farm Grass Igloo combines this shelter with natural materials that animals can also nibble on.

The igloo is made of mountain meadow hay and miscanthus grass. As a result, it has a sturdy, fibrous structure. This makes it interesting for animals that like to explore with their noses and teeth. Furthermore, the round igloo shape creates a cozy, natural look in the enclosure.

For hamsters, dwarf hamsters, and mice, the small grass igloo is fun as a hiding place or part of a natural setup. The large grass igloo is a great choice for rats, degus, and animals that need a bit more space. You can also combine the igloo with bedding, hay, herbs, or a small foraging area around the entrance.

Because the grass igloo is also considered supplementary food, it does not replace main feed or daily hay. View it primarily as natural enrichment: a place to shelter, explore, and quietly nibble on.

For which animals is the grass igloo suitable?

The JR Farm Grass Igloo is suitable as natural enrichment for rodents and rabbits. Choose the size that suits the animal and the enclosure.

• Hamsters and dwarf hamsters: the small variety usually makes a nice hiding and gnawing spot.
• Mice: the small variant is nice as a natural hiding place and place of discovery.
• Gerbils: the small or large variety can be used as a gnawable structure in a spacious enclosure.
• Rats and pygmy rats: the large variant is suitable for examining and nibbling on.
• Degus: the large variety is suitable as a natural activity and nibbling structure.
• Small rabbits: the large variant can be used as a natural nibbling and exploration spot, depending on the size of your rabbit.

Usage & placement

Place the grass igloo in a dry spot in the enclosure. Set it down firmly so that your animal can easily get in and out. For animals that like to dig, you can partially incorporate the igloo into the bedding for an extra natural look.

Do you want to turn it into a foraging moment? Then scatter a few herbs or some hay around the opening. This way, the igloo becomes not only a shelter, but also a place where your animal will actively search and sniff.

Check the igloo regularly during use. Remove loose, wet, or dirty residue to keep the enclosure fresh. If the igloo has been heavily chewed on or no longer stays tidy, you can replace it.

What does this compound mean?

Both variants consist of mountain meadow hay and miscanthus grass. Mountain meadow hay provides the igloo with a natural, fiber-rich base. Miscanthus grass has a sturdy fiber structure and helps give the igloo shape and stability.

Due to the high crude fiber content, the grass igloo serves well as a natural nibbling and enrichment area. The igloo is primarily intended to be used alongside the daily diet, not as a replacement for it.
