Cage Trixie TRIXIE 6249 small animal habitat — metal, 900×250 mm

Trixie TRIXIE 6249 small animal habitat is a metal cage with overall dimensions of 900×250 mm designed for small pets such as hamsters, mice and gerbils. The construction uses metal bars and a solid base to provide a durable, easy-to-clean enclosure with a compact footprint that fits narrow shelves, counters or transport space. The cage can serve as a primary home for short-term use, a transportable housing option or a temporary shelter during cleaning or travel.

Advantages

The metal construction offers durability and resistance to chewing compared with many plastic alternatives, while the narrow 900×250 mm footprint makes the cage suitable for locations with limited floor space. The solid base contains bedding and waste, and the open-bar design provides good ventilation and visibility for monitoring pet activity. The materials are straightforward to wipe down or disinfect, supporting hygienic maintenance.

Suitable for

• Hamsters and dwarf hamsters
• Mice and small rodents
• Gerbils and similar small mammals
• Short-term housing, transport, or quarantine

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: 900 mm width × 250 mm depth
• Construction: metal barwork with solid base
• Intended animals: small rodents (hamsters, mice, gerbils)
• Ventilation: open-bar sides for air circulation
• Footprint: compact, suitable for narrow surfaces

How to use

Place the cage on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, drafts and heat sources. Add appropriate bedding to the solid base to a suitable depth for the species you keep, and include essential accessories such as a water bottle, food dish and hiding house. Check the cage regularly for signs of damage or excessive soiling and clean the base and bars as needed. When using the unit for transport, secure the cage to prevent tipping and ensure the animal has adequate ventilation and protection from extreme temperatures.

Usage recommendations

Use this metal habitat for short-term housing, travel or temporary shelter rather than for continuous, long-term primary housing of species that require extensive floor space or enrichment. Combine the cage with exercise time outside the enclosure and provide species-appropriate bedding and enrichment to support physical and mental health.
