Wooden Cork Platform for Hamsters Trixie TRIXIE 76179 — 1000×500×20 mm

Trixie TRIXIE 76179 is a wooden cork platform for hamsters measuring 1000 × 500 × 20 mm, designed to create additional surface area and levels inside small pet enclosures. The cork material gives a natural, slightly textured surface that reduces slippage and provides gentle footing for small paws. Use it as a shelf, base for ramps, floor insert or resting ledge to expand the usable space within cages, tanks or custom habitats.

Advantages

The cork construction combines lightweight strength with natural insulation, helping to moderate surface temperature and dampen sound. The textured cork surface improves traction for hamsters while remaining soft enough to avoid pressure points on delicate feet. As a flat, rigid panel it supports placement of small hides, toys or feeding dishes without warping and resists moisture better than some untreated wood types. Its large format allows flexible cutting or trimming to fit different enclosure shapes.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Creating raised platforms or multi-level habitats for hamsters and other small rodents
• Serving as a ramp base or shelf inside cages and modular enclosures
• Replacing or reinforcing cage floors or adding a stable resting surface
• Cutting to size for custom habitat fittings, hide foundations or play areas

Key specifications

• Material: natural cork-faced wooden panel
• Overall dimensions: 1000 × 500 × 20 mm
• Surface: textured, non-slip cork finish
• Weight characteristics: lightweight and rigid for easy handling
• Durability: moisture-resistant compared with untreated thin wood panels

How to use

Place the platform on stable supports or attach it securely inside the enclosure using appropriate fasteners or clips compatible with your cage design. If creating a raised level, ensure supports are level and firmly anchored to prevent tipping. The panel can be trimmed with a fine-toothed saw to match enclosure dimensions; smooth any cut edges before use. Position food bowls, hides or toys on the platform, and check regularly for wear or damage. Clean surface debris with a soft brush or damp cloth; avoid soaking or abrasive cleaners.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the platform periodically for signs of chewing or moisture damage and replace if stability is compromised. Allow adequate ventilation under raised platforms and avoid placing heavy objects that could overload the panel. When trimming, use animal-safe dust control and remove debris before returning the platform to the habitat.
