Why choose a small wooden house?

Small rodents need sheltered spots. An enclosure with only open space quickly feels restless. By offering multiple houses, tunnels, and hiding places, your animal can choose where it wants to sleep, hide, or sit quietly for a while.

Due to its compact size, this wooden house is particularly suitable as a small resting place. For mice, it can serve as a hiding place within a playful setup featuring pathways, branches, and tunnels. For dwarf hamsters, it is a simple house that fits well into a hamsterscaping or as an extra hiding place next to a larger multi-chamber house.

The open bottom is practical in this regard. You can place the house on a layer of bedding or partially embed it in the bedding. This way, it feels less like a separate object and more like part of the enclosure.

For which animals is the Trixie Wooden House Blank 15 cm suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a small wooden shelter. Mice can use the house to rest, nest, or as part of a route with multiple hiding places.
• Dwarf hamster: suitable as a compact house or extra hiding place. Ensure that your dwarf hamster can pass through the opening comfortably, and place the house low and stable in the enclosure.

This house is too small for Syrian hamsters, gerbils, rats, dwarf rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, degus, and ferrets. For these animals, it is better to choose a more spacious house with a larger opening and more interior space.

Usage & placement

Place the house low and stable in the enclosure. Set it on a flat surface or press it lightly into the bedding so that it cannot slide or tip over. For dwarf hamsters, a low, stable placement is preferable because they do not always judge depth well.

You can use the little house as an extra hiding place, as a resting shelter in a corner, or as part of a natural scape. Combine it, for example, with tunnels, moss, cork, hay, bedding, and safe nesting material. By creating multiple small hiding places, your animal has more choice in the enclosure.

Use the roof only as it naturally forms part of the layout. Do not place the house high up and do not turn it into a step leading to a dangerous falling point. Placing it low and stable remains most comfortable for small rodents.

Plain spruce wood without staples or nails

The playhouse is made of high-quality spruce wood. The light wood color gives a calm, natural look and blends well with other wooden furnishings, bedding, and natural materials.

An important advantage of the old product information is the finish without staples or nails. This makes the little house a pleasant hiding place for small animals that sniff, scratch, or nibble on everything.

Wood is a natural product. As a result, color, grain, structure, and finish may vary slightly from house to house. This is part of wooden furnishings and makes each piece just a little bit different.
