Hamsterscaping My House 18 cm for mice, hamsters, and gerbils

Hamsterscaping My House 18 cm is a decorative resin hideout for small rodents. The striking house design instantly adds character to the enclosure, while providing your pet with a sheltered spot to retreat, rest, or observe the surroundings from a safe place.

At DRD, when it comes to decorative houses, we focus primarily on size, material, stability, and their role in the decor.

Why choose Hamsterscaping Mijn Huis?

A good setup consists of more than one large little house. Small animals feel more comfortable when they have multiple hiding places and routes. This little house adds such an extra sheltered spot, but with a distinctly decorative character. It is a nice eye-catcher for owners who like to decorate their enclosure creatively and playfully.

The resin finish makes the house practical to use. Resin absorbs moisture less quickly than untreated wood and can be easily wiped clean with lukewarm water. As a result, this house is suitable for places where bedding, sand, or small food scraps might end up.

The open bottom makes the little house easy to combine with bedding. You can place it loosely on the ground, partially bury it in the bedding, or incorporate it into a route with tunnels, bridges, and other hiding places. This way, the little house becomes not just decoration, but also a logical part of the interior design.

For which animals is this little house suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a decorative hiding place and route marker. Mice love multiple small hiding spots and can use this house as an extra resting place or passageway in the interior.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a small hiding place or landscaping accent. Place the house low and stable and check that your dwarf hamster can easily get in and out.
• Hamster: suitable when body size and entry fit well. For larger Syrian hamsters and golden hamsters, due to its height and compact size, the house may be primarily suitable as a decorative landscaping element or extra hiding place, and not always as a permanent sleeping place.
• Gerbil: suitable as a sturdy resin house and decorative element in a gerbilscape. Gerbils actively dig and gnaw, so place the house stably and check regularly for use and wear.

For pygmy rats, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, degus, and ferrets, this house is too small as a suitable hiding place. For these animals, it is better to choose a more spacious house, tunnel, or hiding place that is better suited to their body size, weight, and movement patterns.

Use for hamsterscaping

In a hamsterscape, this little house can work beautifully as a playful accent among natural materials. Combine it, for example, with bedding, sand, cork, small bridges, moss, wooden houses, and tunnels. Thanks to its unique design, the house stands out without losing its function as a hiding place.

For dwarf hamsters, the house can be used as an extra resting place or a small route. For larger hamsters, pay extra attention to body size. A house must be easily accessible, and your hamster should not have to squeeze inside. If space is limited, use it primarily as a decorative element alongside a larger main enclosure or multi-chamber house.

Use for gerbilscaping

Gerbils actively use their enclosure. They dig, move bedding, and enjoy creating routes. This resin house can be used in a gerbilscape as a sturdy decorative feature, hiding place, or part of a route.

Always place the house for gerbils stably. Do not place it loosely on top of a thick, burrowable layer of bedding, but rather work it firmly into the enclosure. Regularly check that the house is still standing straight and that the openings remain easily accessible.

How do you use the little house?

• Place the little house low and stable in the enclosure.
• Use it as an extra hiding place, resting spot, or decorative landscaping element.
• Ensure that the entrance remains easily accessible.
• Combine it with ground cover, tunnels, bridges, and other houses.
• Do not use the little house as gnawing material.
• Check regularly for damage, sharp edges, or wear.

Do you want to partially bury the house or incorporate it into a scape? That works very well, as long as the entrance remains clear and the house stands stably. With burrowing animals, it is wise to check during care whether the position is still correct.

Materials and maintenance

Hamsterscaping My House is made of resin. This material is sturdy, retains its shape, and is easy to clean. The finish makes the house suitable as a decorative shelter in a dry interior.

Clean the birdhouse with lukewarm water and let it dry thoroughly before putting it back. Do not use harsh cleaning agents. While cleaning, immediately check if the edges, entrance, and bottom are still clean.

Good to know

This small house is intended as a shelter and playhouse within the interior design. It is not intended as gnawing material. Therefore, use it primarily as a permanent decorative hiding place and combine it with separate gnawing material, tunnels, bedding, and foraging products.

Check the house regularly for damage. Do you see sharp edges, tears, or loose pieces? Then remove the house from the enclosure. This keeps the setup safe, organized, and suitable for your animal's behavior.
