Small animal habitat décor Trixie TX-61803 — wooden hideout 400×230×320 mm

Trixie TX-61803 is a wooden hideout designed for small animals, with external dimensions of 400×230×320 mm. Made from bark wood and intended for placement inside cages and terrariums, the unit provides a sheltered resting area, an elevated observation platform on the roof and multiple access points to support natural exploration and resting behaviour. The construction and materials are selected to reduce dirt transfer out of the hideout and to offer a durable chewing surface that contributes to dental wear and mental enrichment.

Advantages

The hideout features two entrances and a raised exit hole on the roof that help prevent bedding and hay from being carried outside; this makes maintaining a clean habitat easier. The product is manufactured from softwood without resin channels and is thoroughly dried before processing to minimise the risk of toxic resin exposure. Non-toxic glue is used in assembly. The roof area provides a place for animals to climb and observe their surroundings, increasing environmental complexity within the enclosure.

Suitable for

• Hamsters
• Gerbils
• Mice and other small rodents
• Use as a shelter, resting place or chewing/enrichment element in cages and terrariums

Key specifications

How to use

Place the wooden hideout on a stable, dry area inside the cage or terrarium where your pet can easily access the entrances and roof platform. Add suitable bedding or nesting material inside to increase comfort and to encourage natural nesting behaviour. Regularly check the hideout for signs of wear or soiling and replace bedding as needed. Remove the unit for cleaning or replacement if excessive chewing creates splinters or structural damage.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the hideout periodically for damage and remove any loose splinters. Use appropriate, dust-free bedding and avoid placing wet substrate directly against the wood. Supervise introductions of unfamiliar animals to the same hideout to prevent territorial conflicts.
