Wooden Dzungi House 15 cm for mice and dwarf hamsters

Getzoo Wooden Dzungi House 15 cm – compact house for mice and dwarf hamsters

The Getzoo Wooden Dzungi House 15 cm is a compact wooden house for mice and dwarf hamsters. Due to its small size, it fits easily into a naturally decorated enclosure and can be used as a sleeping place, storage spot, or extra sheltered resting place.

At DRD, when it comes to small houses, we focus primarily on size, opening, accessibility, and the animal for which the house makes the real sense. Dzungi measures approximately 13 × 15 × 9 cm and has an opening of approximately Ø 5 cm. This makes the house particularly suitable for small animals such as mice and dwarf hamsters. It is too small for Syrian hamsters/golden hamsters and larger rodents.

Why choose a compact house?

Not every cabin needs to be large. In a well-furnished accommodation, it is actually pleasant to have multiple sheltered spots. A compact cabin like Dzungi can serve as an extra sleeping area, a storage room, or a waypoint between other parts of the setup.

For dwarf hamsters, such a small house is handy when you want to add an extra hiding place alongside a larger multi-chamber house. You can place the house, for example, near a sand bath, cork tunnel, foraging area, or a quiet corner in the enclosure.

For mice, Dzungi can be part of a network of small hiding places and routes. Mice like to use multiple sheltered spots in the enclosure. Therefore, combine the little house with tunnels, nesting material, small bridges, and other small furnishing elements.

Removable roof: handy for inspection

The removable roof makes this little house practical to use. You can easily check if the nest remains clean, if there is food stored, and if everything is dry and tidy. This is especially handy for small rodents that bring food to their hiding place.

Because you can lift the roof, you do not have to remove the house completely from the enclosure every time. This causes less disturbance for your animal and makes maintenance easier to manage. Always place the roof back neatly after inspection so that the house remains sheltered.

For which animals is the Getzoo Wooden Dzungi House suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a compact wooden house and extra hiding place. Mice like to use multiple sheltered spots to rest, nest, and move through the enclosure.
• Dwarf Hamster: suitable for Russian dwarf hamsters, Campbell's dwarf hamsters, Roborovski dwarf hamsters, and Chinese dwarf hamsters. The house is compact and fits well as a sleeping place, storage spot, or extra hiding place.

This house is too small for Syrian hamsters/golden hamsters. Dzungi is also not suitable as a practical hiding place for gerbils, dwarf rats, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus. For these animals, you would prefer to choose a larger house, a wider tunnel, or a sturdier platform that better suits their body size and movement patterns.

Use in hamsterscaping

In a dwarf hamster enclosure, Dzungi can be nicely used as an extra resting spot. For example, place the little house next to a cork tunnel, sand bath, multi-chamber house, or foraging area. This gives your dwarf hamster several small places to explore and sit out of sight for a while.

Thanks to the open bottom, your dwarf hamster can use the bedding and nesting material itself. Place the house stably and, if desired, subtly conceal the edges with bedding, moss, or light natural decoration. This way, the house blends beautifully into the scape.

Use for mice

For mice, Dzungi is suitable as a small house within a larger network of routes and hiding places. Because mice are social animals, it is important to offer multiple sheltered spots in the enclosure. This allows the animals to rest together, but also to choose where they want to sit.

For example, combine the little house with nesting material, tunnels, small bridges, platforms, and other wooden houses. This creates an enclosure with more structure, shelter, and movement.

Open bottom with ground cover

The open bottom is practical in an enclosure with bedding. Your animal walks directly on its own surface and can bring in its own nesting material. This makes the little house pleasant as a nesting place or storage spot.

With deep bedding, it is wise to check occasionally whether the house is still stable and whether the entrance remains clear. Dwarf hamsters can move bedding, causing small houses to sometimes sink slightly or become partially buried.

Nail-free plug-in system

Dzungi is made using a plug-in system. This allows the house to be assembled sturdily without nails or staples. This fits well with natural wood furnishings and gives the house a calm, neat finish.

The birch wood has a light, natural appearance and combines beautifully with ground cover, cork, moss, sand, wooden bridges, and other aquascaping materials.

Placement in the enclosure

Place the house low and stable in the enclosure. Place it on a flat surface or gently press the bedding around it so that the house does not wobble. Keep the entrance easily accessible so that your animal can easily get in and out.

• Use Dzungi as a sleeping place, storage area, or extra shelter.
• Place the house low and stable on the bedding.
• Keep the opening clear and easily accessible.
• Combine with nesting material, cork tunnels, a sand bath, and foraging spots.
• Use the removable roof to check calmly without lifting the house.
• Check regularly whether the cottage is still sturdy and tidy.

Cleaning & maintenance

Thanks to the removable roof, you can easily inspect the house. Gently remove soiled nesting material and check for old supplies, moisture, or dirt inside the house. Clean the wood thoroughly with a dry or slightly damp cloth and let it dry completely before putting it back in place.

Do not use too much water and do not submerge the house. Wood looks its best when kept dry and tidy. Check the house regularly for wear, loose parts, and gnaw marks. As long as it remains sturdy and tidy, it can simply remain part of the enclosure.

Good to know

Dzungi is a compact house for small animals. For dwarf hamsters and mice, it can be a nice extra hiding place, but for larger animals, the house is too small. Therefore, always carefully consider the body size of your animal and how much space it needs to turn around and nest comfortably.

Because the house has an open bottom, it works well in combination with bedding and nesting material. When using deep bedding, check occasionally to ensure the entrance remains clear and the house is still stable.

The removable roof is especially handy for inspection and cleaning. Put the roof back neatly after inspection so that the house remains sheltered and feels calming for your pet.
