Trixie Rodent Cushion 30 cm for rats, guinea pigs and small rabbits

The Trixie Rodent Cushion 30 cm is a soft resting cushion for animals that like to lie comfortably. The cushion features a soft sheepskin look on one side and a smoother nylon side on the other. This allows you to choose which side is most comfortable for the moment, the season, and the place where you use the cushion.

This cushion is especially suitable for rats, guinea pigs, and small rabbits. Chinchillas can also use the cushion provided they handle fabric carefully and do not gnaw on it. Due to its compact size, the cushion is handy in the enclosure, in the run, on the sofa during cuddle time, or as a soft spot in a quiet corner.

Why choose a soft pillow?

A soft resting spot provides animals with a comfortable place to lie down, relax, or briefly escape the hustle and bustle of the enclosure. Guinea pigs and small rabbits, in particular, often enjoy having a designated resting place. Rats like to use soft spots to lie together, sleep, or groom themselves quietly.

The Trixie Rodent Cushion is compact, soft, and easy to move. This allows you to use it in various situations: in a quiet corner of the enclosure, in the run, in a protected spot on the sofa, or as an extra soft spot during grooming.

Because this is a fabric product, proper use is important. The cushion is not intended for gnawing. Therefore, check regularly to ensure your animal is lying on it properly and is not pulling at the fabric, seams, or filling.

Double-sided: soft side and nylon side

The cushion has two usable sides. The sheepskin look feels soft and warm and is pleasant as a cozy resting place. The nylon side is smoother and more practical when you want to use a slightly cooler or easier-to-clean side.

• Use the soft sheepskin look as a cozy lying surface.
• Use the nylon side when you prefer a smoother side.
• Turn the pillow over occasionally for variety.
• Regularly check both sides for wear, loose lint, or gnaw marks.

For animals that like to dig, pull on the leash, or gnaw on fabric, a cushion is less suitable as a permanent enclosure. In that case, it is better to use it only briefly under supervision or choose another resting place.

For which animals is this cushion suitable?

• Rat: suitable as a soft cushion or resting place. Rats like to lie together, so for multiple rats, the cushion can be especially nice as an extra spot alongside hammocks, baskets, and other resting places.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a soft resting place in the enclosure, run, or on the sofa. For one adult guinea pig, this size usually makes the most sense.
• Small rabbit: suitable as a soft resting cushion, especially for small rabbits or dwarf rabbits. Always check if the size fits your rabbits well.
• Chinchilla: only suitable if your chinchilla does not gnaw on dust. Check carefully for lint, gnaw marks, and loose fibers.

This cushion is less suitable for animals that actively destroy or eat fabric materials. Remove the cushion if your animal pulls at the fabric, eats lint, or opens the seams.

How do you use the pillow?

• Place the pillow in a dry, quiet place.
• Use it as a resting place in the enclosure, the run, or on the couch.
• Do not place it directly under a water bottle or on a toilet spot.
• Check daily whether the pillow remains dry and clean.
• Remove the cushion when your pet chews on it or pulls out lint.

Do you use the cushion on the sofa or outside its permanent enclosure? Then a pee pad or puppy trainer underneath the cushion can be handy. This way, the surface remains better protected if your pet does pee.

Color choice: green, pink or blue

The Trixie Rodent Cushion is available in multiple colors. You can choose from green, pink, and blue. This allows you to match the cushion to the decor of the enclosure, the run, or the rest of your accessories.

• Green: fresh, natural look.
• Pink: cheerful, soft color.
• Blue: calm, cool shade.

The color does not affect the use of the cushion. Above all, choose the color you like and that matches the rest of the decor.
