Trixie small animal habitat décor TRIXIE 51700 — 610 mm x 80 mm wooden platform

Trixie small animal habitat décor TRIXIE 51700 is a wooden platform measuring 610 mm in width and 80 mm in depth, designed to increase usable surface area inside cages and enclosures. Made from willow, this slim platform provides a stable resting and climbing area for small pets such as hamsters, mice, gerbils and other small rodents. The compact design allows placement along cage walls or corners to expand interior layout without occupying floor space.

Advantages

Its 610 mm length gives a broad run for climbing or resting while the 80 mm depth is space-efficient in narrow cages. Developed in cooperation with Walsrode World Bird Park, the platform follows practical design considerations for animal enrichment and easy integration into existing enclosures.

How to use

Place the wooden platform inside the cage at a height suitable for your pet, securing it along a wall or corner where it rests firmly and does not wobble.
