FAQ

Is wood safe for my hamster to chew on?

Yes, untreated pine wood is perfectly safe for gnawing. It helps with the natural wear of their teeth, as long as there are no large splinters. Remove the kennel if you notice sharp edges after prolonged use.

Can I use this house in a cage with several rodents?

It's suitable for cages with 1 or 2 small rodents. If you have more animals, consider a larger size or multiple cages to avoid territorial disputes.

How do you properly clean a wooden shed?

Clean it with a damp cloth and warm water, without soap or bleach. Dry it completely in the air before returning it to the cage to prevent fungal growth.

How long does the shed last before needing replacement?

The lifespan depends on how much your pet chews. On average, it can last 3 to 6 months. Replace it when you notice deep cracks, chips, or signs of persistent moisture.

Is it compatible with metal bar cages?

Yes, it's placed directly on the bottom of the cage, on the substrate. It doesn't require any hooks or special supports, so it works with any type of cage that has enough space.

Can I buy the FERPLAST WOODEN HOME WITHOUT RODENTS 33X23,6X16CM for my dwarf rabbit?

It's not recommended for rabbits, even dwarf breeds, as the size is too small and they could feel uncomfortable or get stuck. For rabbits, look for larger hutches.
