Rainforest Hideout in 16, 22 and 30 cm for Small Rodents

Rainforest Hideout for small rodents

The Rainforest Hideout is a sturdy resin shelter with a natural rock and rainforest look. Thanks to the open bottom, you can place it on top of the bedding or partly work it into the substrate. This creates a sheltered place where your animal can rest, walk through or sit out of sight for a while.

This hideout is available in several sizes: 16 cm, 22 cm and 30 cm. This makes it easier to choose the size that fits your animal and enclosure. The smallest size is mainly suitable for mice and dwarf hamsters. The larger sizes are also suitable for Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters) and gerbils.

Why choose a Rainforest Hideout?

A good enclosure setup is about more than bedding, food and water. Small rodents need sheltered spots where they can choose whether they want to stay visible or retreat for a moment. This Rainforest Hideout helps create such a calm place without making the enclosure look cluttered.

The rocky appearance fits beautifully into a natural setup, hamster scaping, mouse scaping or gerbil scaping. You can combine the hideout with moss, cork, tunnels, sand, humus and a deep layer of bedding. This makes it feel less like a loose accessory and more like a natural part of the landscape.

Resin is shape-retaining and practical to maintain. It absorbs moisture less quickly than many natural materials and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or lukewarm water.

Which size should you choose?

Because this hideout is available in several versions, choosing the right size matters. When in doubt, choose a little more space, especially for Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters) and gerbils.

• 16 cm: suitable for mice and dwarf hamsters. Approx. 16 × 11 × 7 cm, opening approx. 6 × 4 cm.
• 22 cm: suitable for mice, dwarf hamsters, Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters) and gerbils. Approx. 22 × 15 × 7 cm, opening approx. 10 × 5 cm.

Which animals is this product suitable for?

• Mouse: suitable in all three sizes. For mice, the hideout works well as a sheltered resting spot, route point and natural element in an enclosure with several hiding places.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable in all three sizes. The 16 cm version is compact and fitting, while the 22 and 30 cm versions offer extra room in a natural setup.
• Hamster: suitable for Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters) in the 22 cm and 30 cm versions. The 16 cm version is too small as a suitable hideout for this larger hamster.
• Gerbil: suitable in the 22 cm and 30 cm versions. Place the hideout securely and check regularly that it remains stable, as gerbils dig actively.

How do you use this hideout?

Place the Rainforest Hideout low and stable in the enclosure. Put it on a flat surface or press it slightly into the bedding so it cannot slide or tip over. The open bottom allows the hideout to connect nicely with a deep digging or bedding layer.

For dwarf hamsters and Syrian Hamsters (Golden Hamsters), low placement is best. Hamsters are ground-dwelling animals and mainly use hideouts as resting spots, passages or safe corners. For mice, the hideout can become part of a route with tunnels, branches and other hiding spots. For gerbils, it works well as a sturdy scaping element as long as it stands securely and is not completely undermined.
