FAQ

Is wood safe if my rodent chews on it?

Yes, the wood is untreated with varnishes or paints, so it's safe for rodents to gnaw on naturally. However, if you notice your pet ingesting large amounts of wood chips, remove the kennel and consult your veterinarian.

Can this shed be washed?

Washing it with soap and water is not recommended, as the wood can absorb moisture and develop mold. It's best to clean it dry with a soft brush or wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry completely before returning it to the cage.

How long does the booth last?

The duration depends on how much your pet chews. It can usually last several months if the rodent isn't very destructive. Replace it when deep cracks or splinters appear that could injure the animal.

Is it suitable for a dwarf hamster?

Yes, the dimensions (26×17,3x13cm) are suitable for dwarf hamsters like the Roborovski or Russian. It can also work for a Syrian hamster, but make sure it fits comfortably inside without feeling cramped.

Can I use it outside the cage?

It is not designed for outdoor use. Untreated wood deteriorates rapidly with moisture, sun, or rain. Always use it inside the cage or in a dry, protected indoor area.
