Plush Relax Hideout 36 cm for Guinea Pigs, Rabbits & Ferrets

Trixie Plush Relax Hideout 36 cm

The Trixie Plush Relax Hideout 36 cm is a soft hiding and relaxation spot for guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and ferrets. The hideout is lined with plush and has two entrances and exits, allowing animals to easily walk through it, rest inside, or retreat for a moment.

This hideout is primarily intended for use outside the permanent enclosure, for example in a run, rabbit room, guinea pig room, or supervised free-roaming area. Because the hideout is made of fabric and plush, it is not chew-proof. Therefore, use it as a comfortable play and relaxation element when you are present, and remove it when your animal starts gnawing on the fabric or seams.

Why choose a plush relaxation hideaway?

A hiding place provides animals with peace and a clear view. Guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and ferrets appreciate having a sheltered spot in a play area or run. The Trixie Plush Relax Hiding Place creates such a soft resting spot without having to immediately place a heavy wooden house in the free-roaming area.

The two openings allow animals to use the shelter as a passageway as well. This makes it more playful than a completely closed house. Your animal can go in, out, through, or sit on top for a moment when the shelter is stable. This provides extra variety, especially in a run or off-leash area.

Because the material is soft, this hiding place is particularly suitable as a supervised relaxation and play element. For permanent use in the fixed enclosure, plush is usually less practical, as animals may gnaw on the fabric, seams, or filling.

For which animals is the Trixie Plush Relax Hideout suitable?

• Guinea pig: suitable as a soft hiding and resting place outside the permanent enclosure, for example in a guinea pig or free-roaming area. Use the hiding place under supervision and check that your guinea pig does not gnaw on the fabric.
• Rabbit: suitable as a relaxation spot or soft hiding place in a run, rabbit room, or free-roaming area. Rabbits can walk through it, rest inside, or sit on top when the hiding place is stable.
• Chinchilla: suitable as a temporary play element outside the enclosure, for example while roaming freely in a safe area. Use only under supervision, as chinchillas may gnaw on fabric.
• Ferret: suitable as a soft play and hiding place. Ferrets often enjoy walking through openings, rolling, playing, and hiding for a while.

This plush hideout is less suitable for degus, gerbils, hamsters, dwarf hamsters, and mice, as these animals are more likely to gnaw on fabric or because the size and material do not logically fit their permanent enclosure. For rats, the hideout can be very large; if necessary, use it only as a temporary play element outside the enclosure and under supervision.

Usage & placement

Place the hideout on a flat, dry surface in a run, off-leash area, or safe play area. Ensure it is stable before your animal steps on or into it. Do not use the hideout on a wet surface and do not place it in a toilet corner.

Use the top only as it naturally forms part of the shelter: as a low, soft resting place when the product is standing stably. Do not place the shelter at a height and do not use it as a step to a dangerous falling point.

Remove the hiding place if your animal starts gnawing on it, pulling at it, or tries to open the fabric. Regularly check seams, edges, corners, and the inside in particular.

Not chew-proof: when should you use plush?

Plush products are great for comfort, calm, and soft playtime, but they are not intended as chewing material. Therefore, this hideout works best in situations where you can see your animals and intervene when they start on the fabric.

For guinea pigs and rabbits, for example, this can be done during free-roaming time or in a supervised run. For chinchillas, plush is primarily suitable as a temporary play element outside the enclosure, as long as they do not gnaw on it. For ferrets, the hiding place can actually be fun as part of a soft play route.

Cleaning and maintenance

Regularly shake loose hair, hay, and bedding out of the hideout. Check the product for stains, moisture, hair, and gnaw marks. Clean according to the product's washing or maintenance instructions and allow the hideout to dry completely before using it again.

Do not use the hiding place if the fabric is damaged, the filling becomes visible, or loose threads appear. Replace the product if it is no longer intact, clean, or safe to use.

Good to know

The Trixie Plush Relax Hideout is not chew-proof. Therefore, use it outside the permanent enclosure, in a run, or in a free-roaming area under supervision. Check regularly for chew marks, loose threads, damaged seams, and visible filling. Remove the product if your animal chews on the fabric or if the product becomes damaged.
