Hamster Dome Shelter Savic Sputnik – Savic model 009299

Savic Sputnik is a dome-style hamster shelter designed to provide a compact resting and hiding place for hamsters and other small rodents. The smooth, rounded shape creates a sheltered interior that supports natural nesting and retreat behaviors. Intended to be placed inside a cage or in a supervised play area, the Sputnik serves as both a sleeping spot and a quiet refuge that helps reduce stress by offering privacy and a stable micro-environment.

Advantages

Its enclosed form helps retain bedding and creates a darker, sheltered interior that many rodents prefer for sleep. The shelter is lightweight for easy repositioning and cleaning, and its durable construction withstands regular use. The rounded entrance reduces sharp edges and provides a comfortable access point for small animals.
