Is the Meerkamerhuis suitable for Hamsterscaping?

Yes for sure! The Meerkamerhuis is very suitable for Hamsterscaping ! Hamsterscaping is mainly about a natural interior that is geared to the natural needs of the animals. One of these needs is being able to take shelter. As in the wild, the multi-room house gives the animals several rooms, where they can, for example, build their nest and storeroom. In addition, 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.

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

Why a multi-room house for small rodents?

Small rodents such as mice and dwarf hamsters like to keep a food supply close to their nest. In the wild, the animals live in burrows and have a special room for the collected food, which we call the pantry. The multi-room houses thus imitate the natural habitat of the animals and give the rodents the opportunity to use several rooms.

For group animals (Mouse), the multi-room houses have an additional advantage, being able to avoid each other in the event of a disagreement or argument. Although group animals like to be together, there can be disagreements from time to time that make the animals less comfortable with each other's presence. Multiple rooms are ideal for these moments and the animals can retreat to their own room.

Why a removable roof?

Thanks to a removable roof you can take a look inside the house without disturbing the nest. You can then check whether there are older food stocks that need to be removed, especially fresh vegetables are very perishable. With a removable roof this is done quickly and the small rodents are not disturbed because you do not have to lift the whole house. In addition, the nest can be inspected undisturbed if there are offspring.

Why is an opening in the roof good for rodents?

In the wild, danger usually comes from above, so small rodents like to hide as quickly as possible. This has been taken into account in the development of the Meerkamerhuis and the roof has an opening through which the animals can hide in a flash if danger threatens, which in turn gives them a sense of security.

What is the advantage of the 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 or to place the running wheel, for example, and in the summer you can place a cooling stone.

Are the openings big enough for the cheek pouches?

Yes, sure! The Meerkamerhuis has openings with a diameter of about 5 cm, which is large enough for Dwarf Hamsters (Roborovski Dwarf Hamster, Russian Dwarf Hamster, Campbelli Dwarf Hamster, Chinese Dwarf Hamster) 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. As a result, 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 best way to clean the wooden 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 doesn't 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.

Can this multi-room house be used for group animals?

Yes you can! For group animals (Mouse) we always recommend 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. By offering the animals at least one large house like this, we meet this important natural need.

For which rodents is the Meerkamerhuis suitable?

The Meerkamerhuis is a spacious house with several rooms that is suitable as a sleeping or shelter for small mice and dwarf hamsters .
