House Luka 14 cm

Is the Luka house suitable for Hamsterscaping?

Yes for sure! The Trixie Luka house is very suitable for Hamsterscaping ! Hamsterscaping mainly revolves around a natural layout that is geared to the natural needs of the animals. One of these needs is being able to take shelter. Small rodents are prey animals that like to flee and hide. Not only do they do this when something frightens them, but in general they also like to have several hiding places. That is why it is so nice that the Luka has a shelter on the ground floor with two entrances.

❤ TIP
We always think it's very nice to put a piece of dried moss on the roof or plateau, that gives a very nice natural look to the house and fits perfectly in a natural decor!

Are the openings big enough for the cheek pouches?

The house has openings with a diameter of about 5 cm, which is large enough for small dwarf hamsters to walk through the opening with full cheek pouches. It is very important that the openings of a house are large enough. If the entrances to a hamster house are too small, the hamster will have to squeeze through. The hoarded grains can damage the mucous membranes of the inside of the cheek pouches, which can lead to abscesses of the cheek pouches.

What is the advantage of a flat roof?

The flat roof of the House has the advantage that it is a stable place to place, for example, a small food or drinking bowl, but it is also a nice place to put down a snack, for example.

Can this house be used for group animals?

Yes, that is possible, but we always recommend for group animals (Mouse) to place at least one large house in the enclosure in which all animals fit together. Group animals like to be together and often hide together and sleep together. The Luka house is in that sense too small to put a group of animals to sleep, but it can be used as an extra shelter for group animals.

What is the best way to clean the house?

A wooden house can be cleaned in a simple way, depending on the use of the animals. The animals can use the house as shelters, in that case it will remain quite clean, but the animals can also use the house as food storage or as a sleeping house and if you are really unlucky also as a toilet , but luckily that does not happen that way often. If the animals do leave a puddle, which often happens with Muisjes, we recommend a urine spray . This breaks down the urine of the animals and in this way cleans the wood.

For which animals is the House suitable?

The Luka House is a small house that is suitable as a sleeping or shelter for Mice and Dwarf Hamsters .

Can this house be placed on the ground cover?

Yes, this can certainly be placed on the ground cover ! The Luka Huisje is a very light house with an open bottom, so there is no danger of being undercut.
