Bottom Cover for Rodent Run Colour 85 cm

Bottom Cover for Rodent Run Colour 85 cm

The Bottom Cover for Rodent Run Colour is a practical accessory for the Trixie Rodent Run Colour. You place the cover under the run so that your floor remains better protected against stains, moisture, and minor accidents during free-roaming time. At the same time, the bottom cover provides more grip than a smooth floor, allowing your pet to walk and explore more comfortably.

At DRD, when it comes to runs and accessories, we focus primarily on practical use: does it fit well, does it stay in place neatly, and does it help make the temporary play area nicer and more organized? This ground cover is specifically designed for the Colour Rodent Run and fits snugly around the run. As a result, together with the run, it forms a convenient combination for short, supervised play sessions.

Advantages of the Colour Bottom Cover for Rodent Run

✔ Protects your floor against stains and minor accidents
✔ Gives your animal more grip while walking
✔ Fits under the Trixie Rodent Run Colour
✔ Makes temporary indoor playtime more practical
✔ Nice addition when you use the run more often

Why choose a ground cover for the run?

A separate run on a smooth floor is convenient, but not always ideal. Animals can slip, bedding or hay can scatter throughout the room, and in the event of an accident, it quickly ends up on the floor. A floor cover makes the play area clearer and more practical. Your animal walks on a separate surface, and you can keep the play area more easily organized.

The floor cover is primarily intended as practical floor protection. Consider use on laminate, PVC, tiles, or other smooth floors. The cover provides more grip, which can make playtime feel calmer and more pleasant. Especially for small animals that find open spaces intimidating, a clear surface helps the run feel more like their own territory.

The cover fits snugly around the run. This is convenient because it fits well, but it also means that you must position the run neatly and gently pull the cover over the bottom. A tight fit is characteristic of this product and helps keep the bottom cover securely in place.

For which animals is this bottom cover intended?

You do not choose this bottom cover based directly on the animal species, but on the enclosure it fits under. The cover is intended as an accessory for the Rodent Enclosure Colour. Always use the enclosure and bottom cover temporarily and under supervision, appropriate for the animal you allow to roam inside.

• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a floor cover under the enclosure during a short, supervised play session. Always provide hiding places and stay with them.
• Hamster: suitable as floor protection under the playpen. With Syrian hamsters, pay close attention to climbing, digging, and escape behavior; use the playpen only under supervision.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a ground cover under the playpen when using the Colour Rodent Playpen for a short play session. For guinea pigs, a more spacious playpen is often more comfortable when you want to let them run around for longer periods or have more room to roam.

For mice and gerbils, an open run is often less practical because these animals are good climbers and can easily escape. If you use the bottom cover in a creative way, for example as an extra cover, always carefully check that the situation remains safe, appropriate, and under supervision.

Usage & placement

First, lay the bottom liner flat on the floor. Then, place the Knaagdier Ren Colour on top of it and gently pull the liner over the bottom of the run. Because the liner fits tightly around the run, it may take a moment to adjust and straighten it before everything sits properly. Afterwards, check that the run is stable and that the bottom liner fits snugly.

Next, set up the run calmly. Place at least one hiding place in the run so that your animal can retreat when the open space is overwhelming. Optionally, add a small amount of hay, a tunnel, a treat roll, or a quiet foraging activity. Keep the furnishings low and do not place houses directly against the edge so that they are not used as stepping stones to get outside.

Material, size and fit

Dimensions: approx. 85 × 85 × 5 cm.

Suitable for: Trixie Rodent Run Colour.

Fit: the bottom cover fits very tightly around the run.

Use: floor protection and grip surface during temporary use of the run.

The snug fit is intentional: this ensures the cover fits neatly around the playpen. Place it carefully and check that the playpen fits properly inside the cover before letting your animal walk around in it.

Maintenance

After use, remove loose bedding, hay, hair, or snack residue from the bottom cover. If the cover has become dirty, clean it according to the material's capabilities and allow it to dry thoroughly before using or storing it again.

Check the cover regularly for wear, loose seams, or damage. Especially when animals scratch, gnaw on it, it is wise to check if the bottom cover is still neat and usable.

Good to know

The ground cover is intended as an aid under the run and does not replace supervision. Always use the run while staying with the animals. Animals may climb, dig, push, or try to get under and along edges. That is precisely why calm guidance is important.

For a more pleasant playtime, do not empty the run completely. A few low, safe furnishing elements provide your animal with stability and make the temporary enclosure less daunting.
