Order 100% Rodent-Proof Food for Rodents quickly and easily at DRD Rodent Shop ®
Do you have a real fanatic rodent at home? Then you probably recognize this: wooden accessories get destroyed, plastic gets chewed up, and some products need replacing "in no time." That's why in this category you'll find our selection of 100% rodent-proof products – made of high-quality aluminum. These aluminum items are not only sleek and practical, but above all, designed to last an extremely long time. A key difference from general online stores: several aluminum products (including our aluminum running wheels and various accessories) are exclusively available at DRD Rodent Shop ® .
What will you find here?
- Aluminum Running Wheel (exclusive to DRD) – robust, hygienic and made to withstand gnawing.
- Metal running disc – a sturdy option for animals that prefer to run on flat surfaces.
- Aluminum platforms (straight and corner platforms) – ideal for routes, rest areas, and providing an overview of the accommodation.
- Aluminum water bottle holder – stable, tidy and resistant to demolition.
- Aluminum hay rack – durable and practical for offering hay.
- Aluminum cooling plate – pleasant as a cool place to lie down on warmer days.
- Aluminum chinchilla house – a gnaw-proof hideaway for hardy rodents.
For which animals?
- Chinchillas and degus: known for their vigorous gnawing behavior, aluminum is often a smart, sustainable choice.
- Rats: intelligent and fanatical about demolition; rodent-resistant accessories (platforms/holders) often stay tidy much longer.
- Gerbils: can be vigorous gnawers; pay particular attention to safe placement and appropriate size of accessories.
- Other rodents: depending on behaviour and size, aluminium can also be a solution (always check the product specifications).
Checklist: when do you choose gnaw-resistant aluminum?
- Your pet destroys a lot: wood and plastic are quickly damaged or gnawed in an unsafe manner.
- You want to keep hygiene easy: aluminium is generally easy to clean.
- You're looking for long-lasting quality: one good purchase that will last a long time (instead of constantly replacing it).
- You build routes/platforms: sturdy platforms and holders provide peace and stability in the enclosure.
- You want a reliable running solution: choose a running wheel/running disk that suits the animal species and size.
Practical tips
- Combine wisely: use aluminum for "slip-prone" parts (wheel, platform, holders) and combine with natural materials where possible.
- Please note sizing: especially with running wheels and running discs, the correct size is essential for comfortable running.
- Cooling plate tip: place the cooling plate in a quiet place in the enclosure, out of direct sunlight, so that your animal can choose for itself.
- Stable mounting: attach shelves and holders securely to prevent rattling and sliding.
Hygiene & maintenance
- Regular cleaning: Wipe aluminum with a mild, pet-safe cleaner or warm water (follow product instructions).
- Dry thoroughly: prevent moisture spots by drying thoroughly after cleaning.
- Check moving parts: on running wheels/running pulleys: check periodically that everything runs smoothly and is securely fastened.
Safety
- Choose the right size: especially with a running wheel/running disk, size is important for a natural posture.
- Place it securely: prevent wobbling or falling, especially with active animals.
- Check edges: always check for damage or sharp edges.
- Use as intended: read the product specifications and assembly instructions (if in doubt, we're happy to help).
