Product Overview
A wooden hamster hideout house that solves the standing problem with small-pet hides: the moment your pet is safely out of sight, you cannot see it either. Cut-out peekaboo windows let you check on a hamster without lifting the roof off and waking it. The wood is sanded smooth and free of burrs, and because it is untreated timber it is safe for a species that chews everything it sleeps in. It suits hamsters, gerbils, mice and chinchillas.

Important Information
-
The manufacturer publishes no dimensions at all — its specification literally reads "Size: as picture". We will not invent measurements. If cage clearance is tight, or you keep a Syrian rather than a dwarf hamster, please message us before ordering and we will confirm what we can.
-
Self-assembly required. It ships flat to keep shipping practical and goes together by hand on arrival.
- Untreated wood absorbs urine over time. Plan to replace a small-pet wooden hide periodically rather than treating it as permanent.
- Chewing is normal and expected — that is part of what a wooden hide is for. Check regularly for sharp edges as it wears and retire it when it becomes splintered.
- Do not soak or machine-wash. Brush out debris and wipe with a barely damp cloth, then dry fully before returning it to the cage.
- Allow 1–3 cm variance on any measurement, as the manufacturer measures by hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is it?
The manufacturer does not publish dimensions — its size field says only "as picture". That is a real gap in their information. Ask us before ordering if clearance in your cage is tight.
Is Large big enough for a Syrian hamster?
We cannot promise it, because no measurements are published. Syrians need noticeably more room than dwarfs, so choose Large and contact us first if you want us to check.
Do I have to build it?
Yes. It ships flat and assembles by hand — the manufacturer ships it in bulk form specifically to make transport practical.
Is the wood treated or varnished?
No treatment is stated. It is described as wood, healthy and safe, with a smooth burr-free surface, which is what you want for a species that chews its furniture.
Will my hamster chew it?
Almost certainly, and that is fine — gnawing is normal and keeps rodent teeth in check. Inspect it as it wears and replace it once it splinters.
Can I wash it?
Not with water. Brush out bedding and debris and wipe with a barely damp cloth. Soaking untreated wood warps it and encourages mould.
