Why choose the Trixie House Finn?

A well-designed enclosure has multiple hiding places, routes, and small choices. Animals such as mice and dwarf hamsters not only want a place to sleep but also want to explore, walk around corners, and move around in sheltered areas. The Trixie Finn House helps with this because it combines a hiding place and a small raised platform.

The ground floor provides a sheltered spot where your animal can rest or retreat for a moment. The upper floor makes the house more playful and can be used as an extra route point. For mice, this aligns nicely with their active climbing and exploration behavior. For dwarf hamsters, it is best to place the house low and stable in the enclosure so that it remains easily accessible.

For a natural scape, you can combine the house with ground cover, moss, small tunnels, cork, and nesting material. A small piece of dried moss on the roof or near the platform can make the interior look more natural and helps the house blend beautifully into the rest of the scape.

How do you use Finn in the enclosure?

• Place the house securely on the bedding or on a flat spot in the enclosure.
• Make sure your pet can easily access the ground and upper floors.
• Use the bottom part as a shelter or sleeping place.
• Use the upper floor as a small plateau, waypoint, or snack spot.
• Check regularly that the cottage remains clean, dry, and sturdy.

Thanks to the open bottom, you can place the house directly on the bedding. This is convenient for dwarf hamsters, as it allows the house to be naturally integrated into their decor. For mice, you can combine Finn with other routes, houses, and climbing elements to create plenty of places to choose from.

For which animals is the Trixie Finn House suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a hiding place, waypoint, and playful two-story house. For a group of mice, Finn is especially nice as an extra house next to a larger communal hiding place.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a wooden shelter and landscaping element. Position the house low and stable, with easily accessible routes to the upper floor.

For Syrian hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, this house is not the most logical choice as a primary hiding place. For those animals, it is better to choose a more spacious house or a larger tunnel that suits their size and movement patterns.

Preferably place the house in a dry spot. Do not place it directly under a drinking bottle or water bowl, so that the wood stays beautiful longer.
