Small animal habitat décor Trixie TX-5161 — Width 66 mm, Depth 18 mm

Trixie TX-5161 small animal habitat décor is a compact accessory designed to add structure and tactile interest inside cages and enclosures for rodents and other small pets. With a width of 66 mm and a depth of 18 mm, this décor element fits into small spaces and can be integrated without altering primary cage fittings. The item is constructed with wire reinforcement for malleability and is covered in pure cotton to provide a natural surface for climbing, resting, or hiding.

Advantages

The wire-reinforced construction allows the décor to be bent and positioned as needed while maintaining its shape once set. Attachment is possible in any orientation using the included screw-style fastener, giving flexibility when arranging the interior of a habitat. The pure cotton surface is breathable and provides a familiar texture for small animals, and the compact dimensions make it suitable for multi-level cages or small enclosures.

Suitable for

• Rodent habitats — hamsters, mice, gerbils
• Small pet enclosures requiring additional hideouts or climbing spots
• Multi-level cages where compact décor items are needed
• Temporary or permanent habitat enrichment installations

How to use

Decide on the desired location inside the cage where the décor will provide the most benefit, such as near climbing routes or resting areas. Bend the wire reinforcement to achieve the preferred shape and orientation, then fix the décor in place using the screw attachment through a suitable perforation or mounting point on the cage wall. Ensure the screw is tightened securely but not excessively to avoid damaging the cage or the décor. Periodically check the attachment and the fabric surface for wear, and reposition or replace the item if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Install the décor where it cannot obstruct doors or feeders and away from heating elements. Inspect the cotton covering regularly for fraying or ingestion risk and replace the item if damage is found. Clean according to cage-care practices; remove the décor before washing cage components and allow to dry completely before reattaching.
