Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is this hut made of?

Ans: It's built from Timothy hay along with a few natural binders. Since it's all edible, your pet can chew on it freely without any concern or worry. The natural materials also make it a safe hideout for resting and nesting.

Q2: What animals is this hut good for?

Ans: This medium hut works well for guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, and degus. It gives them enough space to turn around, rest, and chew without feeling cramped, since the size is built around their typical proportions.

Q3: Can my pet eat this hut?

Ans: Yes. The whole thing is made from edible ingredients, so chewing, nibbling, and even eating parts of it is completely normal and expected. It gives your pet a way to explore, forage, and wear down their teeth all at once.

Q4: How should I take care of this hut?

Ans: Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from any moisture, and check on it every so often for mold or dampness. There's not much upkeep beyond that, since your pet will wear it down naturally over time. Just replace it once it's mostly gone.

Q5: Is this hut safe if it gets damp or moldy?

Ans: No. If you notice any mold, a musty smell, or damp spots on the hut, take it out of the habitat right away and don't let your pet chew on it. A dry, well-ventilated storage spot helps prevent this from happening in the first place.

Q6: Does this hut help with dental health?

Ans: Yes, since it's made entirely from Timothy hay, chewing on it helps wear down your pet's teeth, which never stop growing throughout their life. It's a natural, low-effort way to support that ongoing wear without buying a separate chew toy.
