Small animal habitat décor Trixie 61650 — wooden hideout for mice and hamsters, 270×70×170 mm

Trixie 61650 is a wooden hideout and décor element designed for small animals such as mice and hamsters. Crafted from natural-finish wood, the unit measures 270 × 70 × 170 mm (W×D×H) externally and provides a sheltered resting area together with climbable surfaces that integrate into typical small-animal cages. The compact design helps create a secure retreat and nesting spot while blending with other habitat accessories.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers a durable, chewable surface that supports natural gnawing behaviour. Its natural finish is free of bright paints and coatings that could be harmful if ingested, and the compact footprint makes it suitable for a range of cage sizes. The hideout’s open and solid areas allow for both concealment and exploration, promoting calmer, more natural activity patterns in small rodents.

Suitable for

• Mice and juvenile or adult hamsters
• Enrichment in wire, glass or plastic enclosures
• Providing nesting and resting space in breeding or single-pet setups
• Creating climbing opportunities and sheltered retreat areas

Key specifications

• Material: natural wood
• External dimensions: 270 × 70 × 170 mm (W×D×H)
• Design: compact hideout with climbable surfaces
• Finish: untreated or natural wood appearance suitable for gnawing

How to use

Place the wooden hideout on the cage floor, on a stable platform or against a cage wall so it cannot tip during use. Add a small amount of nesting material inside to increase comfort and encourage use. Check the hideout regularly for loose splinters or excessive wear from gnawing and replace if the structure becomes compromised. Clean the surrounding area during routine cage maintenance; the wood itself can be gently brushed or wiped but avoid soaking to prevent warping.

Usage recommendations

Position the hideout where animals can easily access it while retaining open space for movement. Combine with other natural-wood accessories and safe bedding to create a varied environment. Supervise initial interactions to ensure the product suits your pet’s size and chewing habits.
