Small animal habitat Trixie TX-6247 — metal cage, 860×230 mm

The Trixie TX-6247 small animal habitat is a compact metal cage designed to house small rodents and similarly sized pets. With an overall footprint measuring 860×230 mm, the enclosure is suited to narrow spaces while providing a secure resting and containment area. Constructed from varnished metal and composed of modular elements, the habitat can serve as a primary indoor cage for short-term housing, transport staging, or as an additional run attached to larger enclosures.

Advantages

The metal construction offers durable, easy-to-clean surfaces and stable bar spacing that help prevent escapes while allowing good visibility and ventilation. The varnished finish resists corrosion and simplifies maintenance. Its modular design, made up of multiple 34×23 cm elements, enables flexible arrangement and extension possibilities when combined with compatible runs or additional elements.

Suitable for

• Small rodents such as hamsters, mice, and gerbils for temporary housing
• Use as a compact run or play area in limited spaces
• Supplementary enclosure attached to larger habitats for exercise or separation

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 860 mm (width) × 230 mm (depth)
• Construction material: metal with varnished surface
• Modular elements: 8 pieces, each approximately 34 × 23 cm
• Expandable design compatible with additional runs or elements

How to use

Place the habitat on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, drafts and sources of extreme heat or cold. Assemble according to the included layout so that each modular element is securely connected; ensure bars are aligned and attachments are fastened to prevent gaps. Line the base area with appropriate bedding, add food and water containers, and include enrichment such as hideaways and chew-safe toys. Monitor the enclosure regularly for signs of wear, loose connections or damage and clean surfaces with a pet-safe disinfectant when needed.

Usage recommendations

For animal welfare, use this unit primarily for short-term accommodation, play sessions, or as an extension to a larger habitat. Verify bar spacing and size suitability for the specific species to prevent escapes. Regularly inspect the varnish and metal for corrosion or sharp edges, and replace or repair components when wear is detected.
