Mouse winter products – warmth, comfort & cozy furnishing in winter
In winter, mice need a stable, draft-free environment, a dry and cool habitat, and above all, plenty of opportunities to shelter together and build a warm nest. In this category, you'll find a carefully selected range of winter products for mice: from cozy nesting materials and warm sleeping spots to winter enrichment. Practical, safe, and tailored to natural behavior (hiding, climbing, exploring, and sleeping together).
Mice like to build a compact, warm nest. Therefore, always combine winter products with nesting material and (where appropriate) a comfortable base of bedding .
During cold spells, mice like to seek shelter. Therefore, add plenty of houses and tunnels so there's always a quiet, warm spot available for the group.
Keep mice active in winter by climbing and searching. Combine winter products with platforms and ladders , play and foraging areas , and a safe exercise wheel .
Which winter products are suitable for your mice?
Not every mouse uses "warmth" in the same way. Some prefer to crawl deep under the nest, while others prefer to sleep high and sheltered. That's why you'll find different types of winter products in this category:
- Nesting & warming materials – to build a compact, warm sleeping nest together.
- Cozy sleeping areas – soft hammocks, sleeping bags or sheltered areas (great for group sleeping).
- Winter enrichment – decor, hiding places and items that keep the enclosure varied and busy (less winter boredom).
Tip: Create zones in the enclosure. A sheltered sleeping zone (nest + house) and an active zone (climbing/foraging). This way, mice can choose what feels comfortable for them.
Winter plan in the house: stable, dry and without drafts
During cold spells, drafts and fluctuations make the biggest difference. With this basic guideline, you can help your mice immediately:
- Place the enclosure out of draughts (not on the floor near doors/windows or in a cold draft).
- Keep the space stable (avoid large temperature fluctuations between day and night).
- Check extra for damp corners and ensure that the enclosure remains dry.
- Always provide fresh water ; in colder rooms, a water bottle can lose its flow more quickly. Also consider a water dish: water bottles & water bowls .
Need more inspiration for an active winter? Combine it with playing and foraging , and change the setup regularly (without disturbing the sleeping area).
Cozy interior: shelter, sleep high and still stay active
Mice like to sleep together and often higher up in their enclosures. In winter, you'll especially want: sheltered sleeping areas, a warm nest, and plenty of climbing and exercise options. Consider:
- Warm hiding places such as houses and tunnels: mouse houses and mouse tunnels .
- Hammocks and soft sleeping places for a sheltered spot higher up in the cage: mouse hammocks .
- Additional routes and levels to keep mice moving: platforms & ladders and cage accessories .
Maintenance & hygiene in winter
- Keep the enclosure dry : remove wet corners more quickly (damp + cold = less pleasant).
- Wash fabric sleeping pads regularly and let them dry completely before hanging them back up.
- Check drinking points daily: is the bottle working properly, is the bowl clean and is it not in the bedding?
- Want to be extra hygienic? Check out our mouse care section for practical tips.
Checklist: winter-proof shelter for mice
As soon as it gets colder, run through this list:
✔ The accommodation is draught-free and not against a cold window/door
✔ There is sufficient nesting material for group sleeping
✔ Minimum 2 hiding places (house + tunnel or extra house)
✔ Soft/warm sleeping place available (e.g. hammock/sleeping bag)
✔ Daily check for wet corners and sufficient dry ground cover
✔ Sufficient exercise and challenge (climbing/foraging/wheel)
Safety warnings
- Ensure the accommodation is draught-free and dry , but allow it to breathe: ventilation remains important.
- Avoid direct heat sources in or against the cage (risk of overheating or dehydration). Instead, provide nesting materials, hiding places, and a stable room temperature.
- Choose safe nesting material . Avoid loose, cottony material; opt for paper/fiber or special rodent nesting material instead.
- If you see clear signs that a mouse is not feeling well (e.g., lethargic, shivering, short of breath), contact a veterinarian.
FAQ – frequently asked questions about mice in winter
Do mice need extra warmth in winter?
Usually, it's not "extra warmth," but extra shelter and a draft-free spot. With enough nesting material, hiding places, and soft sleeping areas, mice often take care of the rest themselves.
What is more convenient: a house or a hammock?
It's best to have both : a small house/tunnel as a sheltered sleeping area and a hammock as an extra-high sleeping spot. This way, the group can choose and there's less crowding around one spot.
How do I prevent a damp stay in winter?
Remove wet corners more quickly, provide plenty of absorbent bedding, and keep drinking points clean. Also consider mouse bedding for a fresh base.
What extras are nice in winter?
Consider varying hiding places, scenery, and foraging challenges. Combine this with play and foraging (small challenges, offering them frequently for short periods) and reward them sparingly with mouse snacks .
