The location of the rodent enclosure in the home should be a draught-free and vibration-free place. Care should be taken to ensure that the animals are not disturbed in their day-night rhythm.
It is better to place the enclosure in an elevated position so that you are at eye level with the animals. This way, the keeper does not approach the enclosure from above (like a bird of prey) and the animals are less stressed.
The enclosure should also not be placed behind a window with strong sunlight so that it does not overheat.
Smoking should not be allowed in the room where the animals are kept.
We recommend at least a 100 cm long rodent glass for dwarf hamsters and 120 cm for golden and teddy hamsters.
The legal size is far below this size, but a size of 60 × 30 cm cannot be considered animal-friendly.
In addition, the law stipulates the following for the enclosure: Hiding places, a burrow layer of at least 15 cm, climbing facilities (hamsters do not know height, so do not build over 10 cm high), nesting material and natural wood or softwood for tooth abrasion.
The enclosure should be robust and escape-proof to protect the rabbits or guinea pigs from predators and escape attempts.
Make sure that the enclosure is secured both upwards and downwards (against undermining).
Ensure that there is sufficient protection from the sun, rain and wind. A weatherproof shelter offers a place to retreat in all weathers.
Rabbits need plenty of space to hop and jump, guinea pigs need lots of hiding places so that they feel safe.
