Oxbow Enriched Life Multi-Level Habitat For Small Animals

Multi-Level Metal Habitat for Chinchillas and Rats

Product Description

The Oxbow Enriched Life Multi-Level Habitat gives chinchillas and rats a tall, multi-level home built for climbing and exploring. A front door opens into a stable perch where your pet can relax, while a pull-out metal litter pan and angled splash guards make daily cleanup simple. Sturdy metal construction runs throughout the habitat, including the pan, so there's no plastic for chinchillas to chew through.

Benefits

• Front Door Perch: The front door opens into a stable perch where your pet can rest and relax.
• All-Metal Litter Pan: The pull-out pan is made from the same metal as the rest of the habitat.
• Angled Splash Guards: Angled guards help keep the area surrounding the habitat clean and dry from day to day.
• Multi-Level Climbing Space: Multiple levels give active pets room to climb, explore, and burn off energy throughout the day.
• No-Plastic Construction: Sturdy metal throughout the habitat means no plastic for chinchillas or rats to chew or damage.

How to Use

Directions for Use

• Use with the Included Stand: Set up the habitat on its stand, since it isn't designed to function properly without it.
• Open the Front Door for a Perch: Use the front door as a stable perch spot for your pet to relax on.
• Slide Out the Litter Pan to Clean: Pull out the metal litter pan regularly to clean waste from the habitat.
• Check Bar Spacing for Your Pet: Confirm the 0.5 inch bar spacing suits your specific pet's size before setup.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Stand Required for Proper Function: This habitat wasn't designed to be used without its stand, and the pull-out pan won't work as intended otherwise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What pets is this habitat designed for?

Ans: This habitat is built specifically for chinchillas and rats rather than a broader range of small pets. Its tall, multi-level layout suits species that are naturally active and enjoy climbing between different heights throughout the day.

Q2: What does the front door perch offer my pet?

Ans: The front door opens outward to double as a stable perch, giving your chinchilla or rat a dedicated resting spot right at the entrance. That's in addition to the multiple climbing levels already built into the rest of the habitat.

Q3: Is the litter pan made of metal or plastic?

Ans: The litter pan is made of metal, using the same material as the rest of the habitat rather than plastic. That matters especially for chinchilla owners, since chinchillas are known to chew through plastic components in some cage designs.

Q4: What do the angled splash guards do?

Ans: The angled splash guards are positioned to help keep the area surrounding the habitat clean and dry, catching debris or waste before it spreads outside the cage. That reduces the daily mess that tends to build up around a habitat without this kind of barrier.

Q5: Do I need to use the included stand with this habitat?

Ans: Yes, this habitat wasn't designed to be used without its included stand. The pull-out litter pan specifically won't function as intended if the stand isn't in place, so setting the habitat up with the stand is necessary for everything to work properly.

Q6: Why does bar spacing matter for this habitat?

Ans: Bar spacing affects whether your specific pet can safely stay contained inside the habitat without squeezing through or getting stuck. Checking that the spacing suits your pet's size before setup helps avoid safety issues once your pet is living in the habitat full-time.

Q7: Why is metal construction important for chinchillas specifically?

Ans: Chinchillas are persistent chewers, and plastic components in some habitats don't hold up well against that behavior over time. Building the habitat, including the litter pan, entirely from metal removes that vulnerability, giving chinchilla owners one less material to worry about being chewed through.
