Small animal habitat décor Trixie 5658 — wooden hideout 410×550×410 mm

Trixie 5658 is a wooden hideout designed for small animal habitats. Constructed from pet-safe wood and sized at 410 × 550 × 410 mm (width × depth × height), this shelter provides a covered resting area and a place to retreat, helping to create a more natural and secure environment for rodents, rabbits and other small pets. The unit combines simple construction with durable materials to serve as both a hideout and an enrichment element inside cages or enclosures.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers a stable, chewable surface that supports natural gnawing behavior while maintaining structural integrity. The design includes two integrated bowls and uses non-toxic adhesives and wood species without resin channels to minimise risks to animal health. Its dimensions suit a variety of small pets, and the neutral wooden finish fits easily into different enclosure layouts and habitat themes.

Suitable for

• Rabbits as a covered resting or hiding area
• Rats and mice for shelter and enrichment
• Guinea pigs and other small rodents needing a retreat
• Habitat setups where naturalistic wooden décor is desired

How to use

Place the wooden hideout inside the enclosure on a stable, dry surface where your pet can easily enter and exit.

Monitor the hideout for chewing wear and replace if sharp edges or significant damage appear.

Usage recommendations

Before first use, wipe the surface with a dry cloth to remove dust. Do not soak the wooden hideout in water; clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry completely. Regularly inspect for loose parts or strong chewing that could create splinters. Use as part of a varied enrichment program together with safe bedding, toys and appropriate sheltering accessories.
