FAQ

Is the kennel safe if my rodent gnaws through it?

Yes, untreated wood is safe for rodents, as it contains no varnishes or toxic products. However, if you notice your pet ingesting large amounts of wood, consult your veterinarian to rule out any behavioral or health problems.

Can the shed be cleaned in the dishwasher?

Not recommended. The wood may warp or absorb excessive moisture. It's best to clean it by hand with a damp cloth and air dry it before returning it to the cage.

Is it suitable for dwarf hamsters?

Yes, the dimensions (33×23,6×16 cm) are perfect for dwarf hamsters like the Russian or Chinese, offering enough space for them to hide and play. Make sure the entrance is easily accessible for them.

How long does the booth last?

The lifespan depends on usage and wear from gnawing. Under normal conditions, it can last several months. If it chips or weakens, it's best to replace it to prevent injury.

Do I need to attach it to the cage?

It's not mandatory, but if your rodent tends to move objects or the house tips over, you can use cable ties or fastening accessories (not included) to secure it to the bars.

Can I use it for two rodents together?

Yes, provided the cage is spacious enough and the rodents are of the same species and size. For pairs of dwarf hamsters or gerbils, the house can serve as a shared nest, but supervise to ensure there are no conflicts.
