Shelter/Platform Trixie TRIXIE 6226 for small animals — wood, 300×250×220 mm

Trixie TRIXIE 6226 is a wooden shelter and platform for small animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits. With external dimensions of 300 × 250 × 220 mm, this unit combines a sheltered hideout under the platform with an elevated resting area on top. The product is made from natural wood and is intended to add structure and enrichment to indoor enclosures, offering a place to retreat, rest and gnaw.

Advantages

The shelter provides a secure enclosed space beneath the platform that helps small animals feel protected, while the raised top offers an additional surface for resting or observation. Being constructed from wood, the unit supplies a chewable material that supports natural gnawing behavior. The compact footprint fits most small-animal cages and runs, and the simple open design encourages exploration without obstructing airflow or visibility.

How to use

Place the shelter on a flat area of the cage or run floor, ensuring stability and unobstructed access to the entrance. Position bedding or hay around the unit to create a comfortable approach and to avoid sharp edges contacting the animal. Regularly inspect the wooden surface for excessive wear, loose splinters or soiling; replace the item if it becomes unsafe. Clean the surrounding area as part of routine enclosure maintenance, but avoid soaking the wood—wipe with a damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly.

Usage recommendations

Use the shelter as part of a varied environment together with appropriate bedding, feeding stations and supervised chew toys. Monitor chewing activity to ensure the wood remains safe and intact; provide fresh hay and mineral blocks to support dental wear and overall wellbeing.
