Why choose the Trixie Play Tower?

A well-designed enclosure consists of more than just bedding and a house. Small rodents also need routes, hiding places, variations in height, and places where they can discover things. This play tower combines multiple functions in one product: climbing, exploring, hiding, sniffing, and observing.

The layout with different rooms makes the tower interesting for animals that like to move through passageways and small spaces. Mice and dwarf hamsters, in particular, can derive great pleasure from this, as the tower suits their natural tendency to explore, walk, and seek out small spaces.

You can use the food bowl at the top for a small reward, a few seeds, or a piece of dried vegetable. This way, the tower becomes not only a play area but also a place your animal can actively move towards. This makes the enclosure more varied and helps make daily routines more interesting.

How do you use the play tower in the enclosure?

• Place the play tower stably on the bottom of the enclosure or on a firm, flat surface.
• Use the top food bowl for a small snack or a few treats.
• Combine the tower with ground cover, tunnels, cork, and other natural furnishings.
• Make sure your animal can easily reach the entrances.
• Regularly check if the tower is still clean, dry, and sturdy.

With deep bedding, you can partially incorporate the play tower into the layout so that it naturally connects to routes and platforms. However, ensure that the entrances remain clear and that the tower cannot tip over when your animal walks through it or climbs on it.

For which animals is the Trixie Play Tower suitable?

• Mouse: very suitable as a climbing, play, and discovery tower. Mice are active, curious, and like to use multiple routes in their enclosure.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a playful addition to a dwarf hamster enclosure, especially when the tower is stable and easily accessible.
• Hamster: for larger hamsters, such as Syrian hamsters, this play tower is usually less spacious due to the small openings and compact chambers. For larger hamsters, it is better to choose a more spacious house or larger tunnel structure.
• Gerbil: only suitable if you take into account enthusiastic gnawing. Gerbils can damage wood and plastic more quickly. Therefore, check very carefully for wear and tear.

For larger rodents such as rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, this play tower is not suitable as a functional enclosure component. The size is too compact and the passages are too small for that purpose.
