Wooden Platforms 37 cm for Rodents & Rabbits

Trixie Wooden Platforms 37 cm for rodents and rabbits

The Trixie Wooden Platforms 37 cm are practical wooden platforms for creating more height, hiding space, and structure in the enclosure. You can use the platform as a raised platform, resting place, hiding spot, or as a sturdy base for a food bowl, sand bath, or decoration.

Thanks to the natural wood with bark, the platform fits beautifully into an animal-friendly setup. Especially in hamster enclosures, gerbil enclosures, mouse enclosures, and rat cages, a platform helps to create more layers and routes. For guinea pigs and rabbits, the platform can be pleasant as a low elevation, resting place, or sheltered spot to lie under.

Why choose a wooden tray?

A platform immediately makes an enclosure more interesting. Animals not only gain more floor space but also more choice: sitting on it, sheltering underneath, walking past it, or using it as part of a route. It is precisely these extra layers that make an enclosure less empty and provide more opportunities to display natural behavior.

For hamsters and gerbils, a platform is very useful for placing items stably. Think of a food bowl, water bowl, sand bath, or a decorative piece of scape. This prevents everything from sinking directly into the deep bedding and keeps the setup more organized.

For rats, mice, chinchillas, and degus, a platform can help add height and routes. For guinea pigs and rabbits, use this platform primarily low and stable: as a resting place, a step, or a sheltered spot where they can also lie underneath.

How do you use the platform in the enclosure?

• Place the platform stably on a flat surface or firmly in the ground cover.
• Tighten the legs firmly, but not unnecessarily hard.
• Use the platform as a raised platform for food, water, sand, or decoration.
• Create a sheltered spot under the platform with bedding or nesting material.
• Regularly check whether the platter is still stable and shows no signs of wear.

For animals that like to dig, such as hamsters and gerbils, the platform can help keep important elements of the enclosure in place. For animals that like to climb, such as mice and rats, the platform can become part of a route with ladders, tunnels, or other platforms.

For which animals are the Trixie Wooden Platforms suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a platform, climbing spot, and route in a well-designed mouse enclosure.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a stable platform for food, water, sand, or decoration in a dwarf hamster enclosure.
• Hamster: suitable as a platform in a spacious enclosure, especially for placing parts stably above the bedding.
• Gerbil: suitable as a platform in a gerbil enclosure, for example for a sand bath or feeding area. Check especially for gnaw marks on gerbils.
• Rat: suitable as an extra platform or low resting place in the rat cage, depending on the layout and mounting.
• Guinea pig: suitable as a low raised platform, resting place, or sheltered spot to lie under. Place the platform stably and low.
• Rabbit: suitable as a low platform or sheltered spot, depending on the size of the rabbit and the layout of the enclosure.
• Chinchilla: only use with regular checks for gnawing and wear, as the platform is not nail-free.
• Degu: only use with regular checks for gnawing and wear, as degus can gnaw intensively and the platform is not nail-free.

Always use the platform in a way that suits the animal species. For hamsters and guinea pigs, being low and stable is most important. For mice and rats, the platform can serve more as part of a climbing route. For chinchillas and degus, extra supervision is important, as they can gnaw vigorously.
