Small animal habitat Trixie TRIXIE 62485 — Plastic enclosure 1000×300×600 mm

Trixie TRIXIE 62485 is a plastic small animal habitat with external dimensions 1000 × 300 × 600 mm, intended for indoor use with small rodents and similar pets. The enclosure is constructed from molded plastic panels that form a lightweight, single-piece housing suited for temporary sheltering, transport between rooms, or as a compact everyday cage. Its rectangular footprint and moderate height allow placement on shelves, tables or low stands while providing a contained environment for hamsters, gerbils, mice, dwarf rabbits and other small animals.

Advantages

The plastic construction makes the habitat easy to clean and resistant to moisture compared with textile or wooden alternatives. Its smooth interior surfaces reduce accumulation of debris and simplify disinfection. The model’s shallow depth and elongated width provide an efficient layout for bedding, feeding and play areas while remaining space-efficient in smaller rooms. Lightweight materials facilitate movement and repositioning without complex assembly.

How to use

Place the habitat on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight and drafts.
