Rodent house Trixie Peanut Ceramic 17×8×8 cm for small pets

The Trixie Peanut Ceramic rodent house (17×8×8 cm) is a compact shelter designed for small pets such as hamsters, gerbils and mice. Its peanut-shaped form provides a snug, enclosed space that supports resting, nesting and brief hiding behavior. Made from solid ceramic, the house offers thermal stability and resistance to chewing, making it suitable for placement inside cages, terrariums or on protected surfaces in home environments.

Advantages

The ceramic construction provides good insulation against temperature fluctuations and is more resistant to gnawing than many plastic or wooden hides. The compact 17×8×8 cm footprint fits easily into a variety of enclosures while still offering sufficient internal space for small rodents to curl up or nest. The smooth, washable surface simplifies cleaning and helps maintain hygienic conditions. The neutral shape and color integrate unobtrusively into different cage setups.

Suitable for

• Hamsters
• Gerbils
• Mice
• Other small rodents with similar size requirements

Key specifications

• Material: ceramic
• External dimensions: 17 × 8 × 8 cm
• Design: enclosed peanut-shaped hideout with entrance aperture
• Surface: smooth, non-porous glazed finish for easier cleaning
• Weight: substantial enough to resist tipping in normal use

How to use

Place the rodent house on a flat area of the cage floor, partially buried in bedding if desired to create a more secure nesting environment. Ensure the entrance faces away from drafts and that there is sufficient surrounding space for the animal to approach and exit easily. Regularly inspect the house for chips or cracks and wash with warm water and mild, pet-safe detergent; rinse thoroughly and dry before returning it to the enclosure.

Usage recommendations

Provide soft bedding or nesting material inside for added comfort and shelter. Avoid exposing the ceramic house to sudden extreme temperature changes (for example, moving directly from a heated area to freezing conditions) to reduce the risk of thermal shock. Replace the house if significant damage appears.
