Species-specific tips (useful when choosing)
- Hamsters & gerbils: hiding places and tunnels are essential. A running wheel is often a key component, but pay extra attention to the correct size and a closed running surface.
- Rats and mice: often enjoy climbing, hammocks, and multiple resting places. Platforms/ladders can actually provide enrichment in this case.
- Guinea pigs and rabbits: are true "ground dwellers" and especially appreciate hiding places, a clear view, and practical food and water solutions. Multiple entrances and exits to houses help reduce stress.
Safety: 6 quick points of attention
- Running wheel: choose a suitable diameter and preferably a closed running surface for stable running.
- Platforms & ladders: Use only if appropriate for your animal species and ensure safe access and descents.
- Hammocks & fabric items: Check regularly for loose threads/fraying and replace when worn.
- Food and water bowls: choose sturdy ones (e.g. ceramic/stainless steel) if your pet likes to knock over or drag things.
- Tunnels: ensure sufficient diameter and no sharp edges; place them stably so they cannot tip over.
- Hygiene: Change the water daily and clean the bowls/toilets regularly.
FAQ Cage Equipment
Drinking bottle or water bowl: which is better?
This varies by animal species, habitat, and preference. Many animals will happily drink from a bowl (provided it's stable and refreshed daily), while a water bottle can be helpful to minimize spillage.
How many houses do I need?
At least one good hiding place, but several resting places (or a house + tunnel) often gives more choice and peace.
Are hammocks suitable for all animals?
Hammocks are especially popular with rats (and some other climbers). For ground-dwelling animals, baskets/cushions often make more sense.
Can I combine everything?
Yes, but always combine species-appropriately: choose furnishings that suit natural behaviour (digging, climbing, hiding, resting).
