Small animal habitat décor Trixie 6176 — wooden hideout 150×150×160 mm

Trixie 6176 — wooden hideout 150×150×160 mm is a compact décor element designed for small animal habitats. Constructed from natural bark wood, this hideout offers a sheltered sleeping area below and a feeding platform above, creating a multifunctional refuge that fits inside cages, terrariums and enclosures. Its dimensions (150 mm × 150 mm × 160 mm) make it suitable for hamsters, gerbils, mice and other small rodents, providing both cover and a surface for food or treats.

Advantages

The wooden construction provides a natural texture and scent that supports species-typical behaviour while being sturdy enough for everyday use. The combination of a lower sleeping compartment and an upper feeding place increases available microhabitats within the enclosure without occupying excessive floor area. The bark finish adds visual variety and tactile interest for animals that like to climb, gnaw or explore.

Suitable for

• Hamsters
• Gerbils
• Mice
• Other small rodents and similar-sized pets

Key specifications

• Material: bark wood
• Overall dimensions: 150 mm (width) × 150 mm (depth) × 160 mm (height)
• Design: lower sleeping area and upper feeding platform
• Placement: indoor use inside cages or enclosures

How to use

Place the wooden hideout on a stable section of the cage floor or on a flat ledge inside the enclosure. Position the open entrance of the sleeping area toward accessible bedding so animals can enter and exit easily. Use the upper platform to offer dry food, treats or small enrichment items; avoid placing moist food directly on the wood to prevent dampening. Check the hideout regularly for wear, accumulated waste or excessive gnawing and replace it when damaged.

Usage recommendations

For hygiene and longevity, spot-clean the hideout by removing loose bedding and wiping with a damp cloth. Allow the wood to dry completely before returning it to the enclosure. Combine this wooden hideout with additional enrichment such as tunnels, chew toys and varied bedding to support natural activity patterns and reduce stress in small rodents.
