Small animal habitat décor Trixie 5826 — wooden hideout, 100 mm × 220 mm

Trixie 5826 is a wooden hideout designed for small animal habitats, measuring 100 mm wide and 220 mm deep. Made from natural wood, this décor piece provides a sheltered retreat and an additional structural element inside cages and terrariums. Its compact footprint fits a variety of enclosures while offering a stable surface for climbing and a visual barrier that increases privacy and comfort for small mammals, rodents and some reptiles.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers a natural look and tactile surface that supports species-typical behaviours such as climbing, gnawing and hiding. Its compact dimensions make it easy to position in corners or along cage walls without occupying excessive space. As an inert wooden object it can be combined with other habitat elements to create diversified microenvironments and enrichment options for laboratory, household or display enclosures.

Suitable for

• Small mammals and rodents such as hamsters, mice, gerbils and dwarf rabbits
• Young or small reptiles that benefit from a shaded shelter
• Enclosures requiring a climbing surface, shelter or visual partition
• Pet habitats where natural materials are preferred for environmental enrichment

How to use

Place the wooden hideout on a stable surface within the enclosure, preferably against a wall or in a corner to create a secure retreat. Ensure the item is firmly positioned and cannot topple when climbed on. Combine with suitable bedding, foliage or other enrichment items to form a sheltered zone. Regularly inspect the wood for signs of wear, excessive chewing, moisture damage or soiling and replace it if structural integrity is compromised.

Usage recommendations

Before first use, clean the hideout according to manufacturer guidance or wipe with a dry cloth; avoid strong detergents that may leave residues. Monitor animals’ interaction with the wood and remove the item if sharp edges or splinters appear. For species that gnaw excessively, provide approved chew blocks to protect the hideout and maintain a safe enclosure environment.
