The PawHut Wooden Hamster Cage excels at providing a stimulating and safe environment for its intended inhabitants. The ample space allows dwarf hamsters and baby gerbils to run, burrow, and exercise, which is crucial for their well-being. For example, a dwarf hamster can create multiple burrows or distinct areas for sleeping and food storage within the cage.
The two integrated huts serve as essential hideaways, reducing stress and offering a sense of security for timid animals. Owners can observe their pets emerging from these huts, demonstrating comfort in their new home.
The sliding acrylic doors are a significant benefit, offering an unobstructed view of your pets' daily activities, from foraging to playing. This design also simplifies daily tasks like refilling food and water or light spot cleaning, without needing to lift heavy lids or remove multiple components.
Furthermore, the top storage shelf helps maintain a tidy pet area. You can keep bedding, treats, or grooming tools readily accessible without cluttering your living space. This makes daily care more efficient. For instance, having a small container of bedding on the shelf means quick bedding changes.
The PawHut Wooden Hamster Cage arrives disassembled and requires assembly. Follow the included instruction manual carefully, ensuring all panels and fasteners are correctly aligned and secured. Typically, this involves connecting wooden panels with screws and fitting the acrylic doors into their tracks. A screwdriver will likely be required.
This cage is designed for dwarf hamsters, baby gerbils, rutin chickens, and other similarly sized small animals. It is not recommended for larger hamsters (like Syrian hamsters) or for housing multiple larger pets together, as they may require more space or a different type of enclosure.
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain a hygienic and odor-free environment, especially with a wooden cage.
Daily Spot Cleaning: Remove soiled bedding and droppings daily.
Weekly Deep Cleaning:
Carefully remove your pet to a secure temporary enclosure.
Remove all bedding, toys, and accessories.
Wipe down all wooden surfaces with a damp cloth using pet-safe cleaner. Avoid soaking the wood, as this can cause warping or mold.
Allow the cage to air dry completely before returning your pet and fresh bedding.
Odor Control: If odors persist, consider using a pet-safe enzymatic cleaner on wooden surfaces. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room.
Chewing: Provide plenty of safe chew toys to redirect chewing behavior away from the cage structure. Regularly inspect the wood for significant damage.
Acrylic Doors: Clean with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent scratches and maintain clarity.
