Timber Hide-A-Way® Natural Wood Huts for Small Pets

The gerbil loves it. All the really special food gets taken inside for private eating. He likes the several exits we've noticed gerbils don't like to enter things that don't have another way out. He will also sit on top of it and ponder the world. This is gerbil number 3 the first two loved them as well. This one isn't chewing it up nearly as fast as previous occupants. Do get a couple, since eventually they get fairly chewed up.

I've had a few of these over the years, not because they don't last, but because the gerbils love to chew them, and they are sturdy enough that they are not chewed through. However, when I get a new set of gerbils, they get a new Timber Hide-A-Way. I've never had to buy more than one for each set of gerbils (and, in fact, could use the same one, but give them a new one anyway). They like to play in it and gnaw on it to keep their teeth short.

It's the best chewable habitat I've seen. We had a different model our gerbil demolished -but that model was painted bright colors. I suspect it was somewhat toxic to chew on, though our gerbil survived.

This is unpainted and seems as safe a habitat as one could buy. Only 3 issues:

1. The label was a nuisance to remove.

2. It's tacked together, so hope the gerbil can figure that out.

3. It's made in China, so we can only cross fingers and hope it really is relatively non-toxic.

Update: Well, four issues. Our gerbil is a manic chewer, and he chewed into a tack on a similar structure. He broke a tooth, which the abscessed. He's now the 150 dollar gerbil, recovering post-op. This wood hut has similar tacks holding it together. If Kangaroo recovers fully, we'll cut this structure apart and build him something held together by string.

I had one of these when I had a guinea pig a few years ago. He loved the little wood hut.

It always stayed clean and he enjoyed nibbling on it. A BIG bonus is that it is very durable, and it lasted him about 5 years or so.

I would totally buy one all over again.

Highly recommended.

Previously I used cardboard boxes with sections cut out for entry and windows. My pig loved those and would immediately start to nibble on them. They were free and lasted about three months. I ensured that there was no ink, tape or labels on the boxes.

I purchased this recently, and my pig loves it, of course. He's already sticks his head out the top and the side window. I think that this is better for him, because it will help his teeth wear down better than a cardboard box. I don't see any dangers in my guinea pig using this.

The construction is very good, no loose pieces. It's also size appropriate. Great product, fast shipping and arrived in good condition.
