The Rodipet EasyClean Ceramic Igloo is made of high-quality and durable ceramic. The house was developed based on observations in the northern Syrian agricultural steppe during the Rodenti® expeditions in 2007, 2009 and 2010. The researchers looked at how the animals live in the wild and developed this house based on that. A nice side effect is that the roof is removable, which makes nest inspection possible. The roof of the house also has a handy recess for fresh food, dry food or treats.
✔ Ideal for Hamsterscaping & Gerbilscaping !
The house can be expanded with tubes to recreate a complete castle! The material and wall thickness also make the house very suitable for the real rodents among the rodents, such as Gerbils and Degus.
In particular in combination with a tunnel tube and a second ceramic building or a ceramic house (not included in the delivery) species-specific constructions can be realized. Just like in the wild, the rodents can live in an underground tunnel system. In the surrounding litter, the animals have the opportunity to pursue their rooting instinct and at the same time find a safe and comfortable shelter in the tunnel system.
The nails are also well cared for when the animals start scratching in the house. The rough structure of the ceramic causes a wearing effect on the nails.
Did you know?
In the summer months, the cavity on the roof can be filled with a little water. This creates a great climate, even at high temperatures. The ceramic house cools down due to a physical phenomenon: in order for evaporation to occur, the water molecules need energy to change from liquid to gaseous state. The water takes this energy away from the nearest body in the form of heat. In this way, the body loses heat and cools down.
EasyClean is also really easy to clean because the glaze repels urine, making the house easy to clean. The upper part is not glazed so that the house breathes well and the humidity remains at a good level.
A fully grown golden hamster can grow up to 7 cm wide with filled cheek pouches. If the entrances to the hamster house are too narrow, the hamster will have 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.
Oddly enough, the ceramic house is nice and warm in the winter when the animals make their nest in it. This is due to the very good insulating effect of ceramic. It is not without reason that houses are now also built with ceramic bricks because of their superior insulation in both winter and summer.
