Read moreGround mats & pee mats for rodents and rabbits
A good substrate makes the enclosure more organized, comfortable, and easier to maintain. Floor mats and pee mats are primarily used for larger rodents and rabbits, such as rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chinchillas. Consider providing a soft place to lie down, a protective layer in the enclosure, or an absorbent mat in areas where peeing occurs frequently.
In this category, you'll find a variety of solutions: from natural hemp mats (cut to size) to soft fleece/plush mats and absorbent pee pads. DRD Rodent Shop® has been a specialist since 2011 and is happy to help you choose the right one for your pet and your pet's lifestyle.

Why ground mats and pee mats?
- More comfort: a soft, stable place to lie down and rest.
- Protection: useful as ground protection in, for example, wooden enclosures or on vulnerable surfaces.
- Hygiene: on “fixed spots” an absorbent mat can make maintenance easier.
Types of mats in this category
1) Hemp mats – natural and cut to size
Hemp mats are sturdy, dust-free, and easy to cut to size. They're often used as bedding or as a natural base layer. Small rodents (mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils) often pick apart a hemp mat and use the fibers to build a nest.
2) Urine mats – extra absorption in fixed places
Pee mats are designed to quickly absorb moisture and keep the surface drier. They're primarily used for larger animals, for example, in a toilet area, under a hay rack, or in places where your pet likes to sit.
3) Fleece & plush floor mats – soft and cozy
Fleece and plush mats are ideal as a comfort zone. Consider a warm corner in the enclosure or a soft surface for animals that prefer to lie in one place.
Selection aid per animal
- Rats: Soft fleece/plush mats are popular as sleeping spots; watch for gnawing behavior and replace any frayed edges.
- Guinea pigs: floor mats for comfort, pee mats for wet areas. Combine with hay via Hay & Mangers .
- Rabbits: Ideal as a comfort spot or toilet area. A mat can also help soften slippery surfaces. (For digging/additional enrichment: also see sand and digging options.)
- Chinchillas: Use mats as resting places and check regularly for gnawing marks.
- Small rodents: Hemp mats can serve as ground cover, but pee mats and soft fabric mats are generally less suitable if they gnaw or pull a lot.
Use & combine
- Use a ground mat as a “comfort zone” and finish the rest of the enclosure with ground covering where it is more appropriate: Ground covering .
- Pee mats work best in fixed locations (toilet/corner area) and in combination with a cleaning routine.
- Hemp mats are useful as a protective layer under drinking bottles, mangers or in wooden enclosures.
Hygiene
- Replace or wash mats when they become wet or soiled.
- Allow washed mats to dry completely before putting them back.
- Are you using mats in combination with bedding? Remove wet spots daily to ensure a fresh environment.
Good to know
- Fabric/fiber pee mats are designed for larger rodents and rabbits; small rodents are more likely to pull or gnaw on them.
- Check mats regularly for frayed edges, loose threads or damage from gnawing and replace when necessary.
- It is best to use mats on a flat, stable surface so that they stay in place.
FAQ Ground mats & pee mats
Can I use a ground mat instead of ground cover?
For larger animals, a mat may work (partly), but often a combination is best: a comfort/toilet zone with a mat and ground cover elsewhere for grip and hygiene.
Are hemp mats also suitable for small rodents?
Yes, especially as ground cover. Keep in mind that mice, (dwarf) hamsters, and gerbils like to tear the mat apart and use the material for nesting.
How often should I wash or replace a pee mat?
That depends on use and location. At a designated "pee spot," changing it more often is normal. Once a mat becomes wet or smells, it's time to change or wash it.

Do you primarily use mats for toilets or corners? It helps to keep that area consistent and change it more quickly. This makes maintenance easier.
