The design aligns with animal welfare guidelines for small mammals, supporting their need for shelter and exploration.

How to use

Place the wooden hideout on a flat area inside the enclosure where it does not obstruct feeders or exercise equipment. If used with bedding, ensure the entrance remains clear so animals can enter and exit freely. The unit requires no additional fixing; position it to provide stable support and a comfortable entry height for the species kept. Regularly inspect the wood for chewing damage or splinters and replace the product if it becomes unsafe.

Usage recommendations

For hygiene, remove the hideout periodically and clean surrounding bedding. Do not treat the wood with paints or varnishes; keep it natural to avoid exposing animals to harmful substances. Monitor animal interaction during initial introduction and provide alternative shelters if any individual shows avoidance or stress.
