Shelter/Platform Trixie TRIXIE 76402 for guinea pigs and rabbits, wood, 190×550 mm

Trixie TRIXIE 76402 is a wooden shelter and platform designed for small pets such as guinea pigs and rabbits. With a width of 190 mm and a height of 550 mm, this unit provides a sheltered resting area at ground level and an elevated vantage point when positioned as a platform. The natural wood construction integrates into indoor hutches and runs and helps create hiding spots, climbing opportunities and additional spatial complexity inside cages or enclosures.

Advantages

The wooden shelter/platform offers a compact solution for adding both cover and vertical space within small animal habitats. Its natural wood surface provides a texture that is comfortable for paws and can be chewed safely if made from untreated wood. The unit is lightweight yet sturdy enough to support the typical weight of guinea pigs and rabbits when used as a platform. Its dimensions make it suitable for narrow or limited spaces where a combined shelter and elevated area is required.

Suitable for

• Providing a hiding place for guinea pigs and rabbits
• Creating an elevated platform for observation and enrichment
• Adding shelter and structural variety inside indoor hutches
• Using in runs or multi-level enclosures to separate resting and activity zones

Key specifications

• Material: wood (natural finish)
• Width: 190 mm
• Height: 550 mm
• Design: shelter with platform function
• Suitable for: small rodents and lagomorphs such as guinea pigs and rabbits

How to use

Place the shelter/platform inside the hutch or run so that the opening and platform are easily accessible to the animals. Position it on a flat surface and ensure it does not wobble; add non-slip material underneath if needed. Use the unit as a ground-level hideout or invert or elevate it where safe to create a higher resting platform. Regularly inspect the wood for signs of wear or chewing and replace the unit if structural integrity is compromised.

Usage recommendations

For safety, ensure the product is kept dry and clean; avoid using treated or painted surfaces that could be harmful if chewed. Supervise initial use to confirm animals can access the platform safely, and combine with secure bedding and appropriate enclosure fittings for stable placement.
