Shelter/Platform with Steps Trixie TRIXIE 62262 for Guinea Pig and Rabbit, Wood, 370×280×170 mm

The Trixie shelter/platform with steps for guinea pigs and rabbits is a wooden hideout and raised resting area sized 370×280×170 mm. Designed for small pets, it functions as a shelter, elevated platform and access ramp in one compact piece. Its solid wood construction offers a stable surface for resting and an enclosed space underneath that can be used as a quiet retreat or sleeping area inside cages or larger enclosures.

Advantages

This wooden shelter combines a covered hideaway with a non-slip ramp and a flat top platform, providing multiple usable zones without occupying excessive floor space. The natural wood material is sturdy and gives a tactile surface that small rodents and rabbits can use for traction. The compact dimensions suit a range of indoor cages and pens while offering elevation to increase usable area and visual interest for the animals.

Suitable for

• Guinea pigs and dwarf rabbits needing a hideout and resting place
• Enclosures where extra elevated surface area is required
• Habitat enrichment to encourage exploration and activity
• Providing a sheltered sleeping or retreat zone inside cages

Key specifications

• Material: wood
• Overall dimensions (W×D×H): 370 × 280 × 170 mm
• Design: enclosed lower hideout, top platform, stepped ramp
• Intended animals: small rodents such as guinea pigs and rabbits
• Surface: solid/tactile wood suitable for traction

How to use

Place the shelter on a flat, stable area inside the cage or pen so the ramp rests securely against the floor and the top platform is level. Allow animals time to explore the new structure; initially supervise to ensure they use the ramp safely. The enclosed space beneath the platform serves as a hideout and the top can be used for resting. Clean the shelter regularly according to the enclosure’s hygiene routine; remove bedding and wipe or brush away debris. If the wood becomes soiled, spot-clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely before returning it to the enclosure.

Usage recommendations

Position the unit to create a sheltered corner and combine it with soft bedding on the platform for additional comfort. Avoid placing directly under strong drafts or in constantly damp spots. Inspect the wood periodically for sharp edges, splinters or heavy soiling; replace if damage could present a risk to animals.
