Resin houses – sturdy, easy to maintain & with a natural look
Looking for a rodent house that looks natural and is practical for everyday use? Resin houses are popular because they often feel sturdy, retain their shape, and are easy to clean. In this category, you'll find resin houses for hamsters, mice, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits, among others. We list the dimensions and suitability for each product, so you can quickly choose the right size. Specialists since 2011, so you can choose with confidence and with help.
Resin houses often retain their shape and are convenient as a permanent shelter. They're useful in enclosures where there's a lot of walking, digging, or climbing.
The surface is usually smoother than wood, making spot cleaning and wiping easy. This is great if you have a regular cleaning routine.
Many models have a stone/rock look and complement a natural interior beautifully. They combine well with cork, wood, and moss.
Why choose resin houses?
Resin houses are especially popular for their practicality: sturdy, often dimensionally stable, and generally easy to clean. Many pet owners also appreciate the natural look, especially if you furnish the enclosure with natural materials. Always choose a suitable size and sufficient openings so your pet can rest comfortably.
Choosing a resin rodent house: what should you pay attention to?
When choosing a resin house, pay particular attention to:
- Size – Your pet should be able to turn and lie down comfortably.
- Openings – large enough for your species; for groups, a second exit is often helpful.
- Ventilation – choose a model with sufficient openings or an airy shape.
- Placement – Stable placement and preventing roofs/platforms from becoming awkward jump routes.
Tip: Use zones in the enclosure. A fixed hiding place (house), a foraging zone, and a quiet nesting area often promote more flow in daily behavior.
Styles & placement: what works in practice?
- Cave/rock look – quiet hiding place, often popular as a permanent sleeping place.
- Corner house – use space wisely, especially in more compact accommodations.
- Platform/roof model – provides extra seating; safe and stable position.
- Spacious design – more comfortable for larger species or animals that sleep together.
For additional hiding places and variety, you can combine resin houses with tubes & tunnels and platforms & ladders .
Combine in the stay: make it complete
A cottage works best as part of a complete interior design. Consider:
- ground cover + a soft nesting corner with nesting material
- Additional activity with playing & foraging
- Natural gnawing with gnawing material
- A sand zone where appropriate with sandboxes and sand
Maintenance & hygiene
- Daily : Spot-clean wet areas and remove food scraps around the house.
