How to use

Place the pet house on a stable surface inside the enclosure away from direct drafts and intense sunlight. Position the entrance so the animal can enter and exit easily; for timid animals consider locating the house toward the rear of the cage to increase the sense of security. Check the interior regularly and add suitable bedding material to increase comfort and absorb moisture. Remove soiled bedding and clean the shelter according to the enclosure’s maintenance schedule.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate bedding to provide insulation and absorbency, and ensure the house is secured or placed in a stable position to prevent tipping. For animals that chew, monitor the product condition frequently and replace it if wear affects safety.
