Rodent living
.jpg "White outdoor enclosure set")
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.

Stables and enclosures - for indoors or outdoors
Guinea pigs and rabbits can be kept outside all year round in our country. It is important that they can stay in a sheltered, windless place. You can find suitable outdoor hutches in our shop. When keeping rodents indoors, we attach great importance to enclosures that exceed the legal minimum dimensions - because happy rodents are simply more exciting to watch. The information in our shop will certainly help you to choose the right cage - but if you are unsure, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Hamster cage
Would you like to buy a hamster? Then you've come to the right place. We offer hamster cages made of glass because the enclosures with plastic trays and grids are usually too small and, above all, the legal height of the bedding of at least 15 cm cannot be maintained. Rodent terrariums and rodent jars are therefore the best option. We recommend a size of 100 × 50 cm for dwarf hamsters and 120 × 50 cm for golden hamsters. Of course, larger is always possible! For a hamster cage with tiers, make sure that the drop height does not exceed ten centimeters. Hamsters have no sense of height and will simply drop.
An enclosure for degus
We also recommend a glass terrarium for degus. The minimum dimensions inside are 100 × 50 × 70 cm. This means that the enclosure must have a base area of 100 × 55 cm. We also recommend a height of one meter so that the enclosure can be nicely furnished. The bedding height must be 30 cm. However, the 120 cm rodent glass is ideal, as the diurnal octodon can really let off steam.
Whether you want to buy a cage for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, and other small animals, we have a large selection of animal-friendly cages and enclosures. In our rodent shop, you will find high-quality small animal accessories and small animal supplies for your home. Discover a wide selection of cages, small animal pens, enclosure equipment and much more: everything for the well-being of your small animals.

Buy chinchilla aviary - Species-appropriate accommodation for your chinchillas
A spacious chinchilla cage is essential for the well-being of these active animals. When buying a chinchilla cage, you should ensure there is enough space, stable spacing between the bars and animal-friendly equipment. Important elements such as wooden shelves, climbing branches, a sand bath and hiding places provide a varied environment. We recommend a minimum size of 150x60x150cm.
Buy a color mouse cage - ideal housing for active rodents
Color mice are curious and agile animals that require plenty of space to climb and explore. A color mouse cage should therefore be high enough to integrate multi-storey levels, climbing ropes and running wheels. Secure ventilation and a fine-meshed grid structure are significant to prevent escape. With a rodent glass with top in the size 100x50x70cm, you can provide a large mouse cage for colored mice, which must always be kept in groups.
Buying a gerbil cage - a safe home for gerbils that allows them to move freely
Gerbils love to dig and climb, which is why a gerbil cage should be deep enough to provide a thick layer of bedding (at least 25 cm) and various climbing and hiding places. Glass terrariums or mesh cages with a deep floor are ideal to fulfil the natural needs of these rodents. The internal dimensions should not be less than 100x50x50cm.
Buy a rat cage - Spacious rodent homes for clever rats
Rats are very social and active animals that require plenty of space and variety in their rat cage. A multi-storey rat cage with climbing ropes, tubes and hiding places enables a species-appropriate life. Particularly important are an escape-proof grid structure, easy cleaning and sufficient opportunities for activity. A large rat cage should be at least 100x50x70cm in size (legal requirement), but a rat aviary with many levels is better.
