FAQ

Is the myrtle nest safe for my hamster if it gnaws on it?

Yes, it's made from natural, non-toxic materials. Rodents can gnaw on it safely, but if you notice them ingesting large pieces, remove them to prevent blockages. Replace the nest box when it becomes very worn.

Can I wash the nest in the washing machine or with bleach?

No. To maintain its shape and safety, wash it only with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, or submerge it in water, as this could deform it or cause it to lose its structure.

How long does a wicker nest last?

The lifespan depends on your pet's behavior. If your rodent gnaws a lot, it can last between 2 and 4 months. In calmer animals, it can last up to 6 months. Replace it when you notice large cracks or loose parts.

Is it compatible with cages from brands other than Ferplast?

Yes, the standard design of the Mirto 2 Small Animals nest fits most rodent cages of any brand, provided there is enough interior space. Measure the base of your cage before purchasing.

Can I use this nest for my baby guinea pig?

Yes, it's suitable for small guinea pigs or pups. For larger adult guinea pigs, we recommend a larger nest, such as the Myrtle 3 or 4 model, so they can enter and turn around comfortably.
