House Luka 14 cm

Is the Luka house suitable for Hamsterscaping?

Yes, definitely! The Trixie Luka house is very suitable for Hamsterscaping ! Hamsterscaping is all about a natural design that is tailored to the natural needs of the animals. One of these needs is being able to hide. Small rodents are prey animals that like to flee and hide. They don't just do this when they are scared of something, but in general they also like to have multiple hiding places. That's why it's so nice that the Luka has a hiding place with two entrances on the ground floor.

❤ TIP ❤
We always think it is very nice to put a piece of dried moss on the roof or plateau, it gives a very nice natural look to the house and fits perfectly in a natural interior!

Are the openings large enough for the cheek pouches?

The house has openings with a diameter of about 5 cm, which is large enough for small dwarf hamsters to walk through the opening with full cheek pouches. It is very important that the openings of a house are large enough. If the entrances of a hamster house are too small, the hamster has to squeeze through. The hoarded grains can damage the mucous membranes of the inside of the cheek pouches, which can lead to abscesses of the cheek pouches.

What is the advantage of a flat roof?

The flat roof of the House has the advantage that it is a stable place to place a small food or water bowl, for example, but it is also a nice place to put down a snack, for example.

Can this house be used for group animals?

Yes, that is possible, but we always recommend for group animals (Mouse) to place at least one large house in the enclosure where all animals can fit together. Group animals like to be together and often hide and sleep together. The Luka house is too small in that sense to let a group of animals sleep, but it can be used as an extra shelter for group animals.

What is the best way to clean the house?

A wooden house can be cleaned in a simple way, depending on the use of the animals. The animals can use the house as shelters, in which case it will remain fairly clean, but the animals can also use the house as a food supply storage or as a sleeping house and if you are really unlucky also as a toilet , but fortunately that does not happen very often. If the animals do leave a pee behind, which often happens with mice, we recommend a urine spray . This breaks down the urine of the animals and in this way cleans the wood.

Which animals is the House suitable for?

The Luka House is a small house that is suitable as a sleeping or shelter for mice and dwarf hamsters .

Can this house be placed on the ground cover?

Yes, this can definitely be placed on the ground cover ! The Luka House is a very light house with an open bottom, so there is no risk of undermining.

The wooden products are made of bark wood, a material with a natural and rustic character. Although it is not common, it can happen that the bark comes off in some places. This is a characteristic of the material, which emphasizes the authenticity and unique appearance of each product. The bark coming off only happens occasionally and does not affect the strength or functionality of the product, but does contribute to its natural charm.

Should I be concerned about resin?

No, it doesn't. This bark wood contains fewer resin channels and undergoes a careful drying process to ensure that it is completely free of resin and other saps that naturally occur in wood. During this process, the wood is exposed to controlled conditions of heat and airflow, which gradually removes any remaining moisture.

In addition, the wood complies with European guidelines and is monitored by the German animal protection agency to ensure that it meets the highest standards of safety and quality.
