Hiding places for rodents - protection, retreat & activity
Hiding places are essential for the well-being of hamsters, mice, rabbits and other rodents. They provide protection, serve as a place to sleep and encourage the animals' natural behaviour. You will find a large selection in our range - from tree trunk hideaways to grass houses, grass nests and nibble houses.
Grass nests & nibble houses in particular are real all-rounders: they not only serve as a hiding place, but also as a snack or cosy place to sleep. Some models are already filled with hay, which the rodents can use to build their nests.
Some grass nests can even be hung up - a simple metal hook transforms them into an exciting swing. Thanks to the variety of materials and shapes, you can choose the perfect hiding place for your pet and create a species-appropriate environment.

Hiding places for hamsters
Hamsters are naturally quite shy creatures. They often create kilometre-long tunnels to avoid being seen or attacked. It is therefore essential to provide the hamster enough places to hide.hiding places. Tubes, tunnels and hiding places are of course ideal for this. Roborowski dwarf hamsters are a prime example of this. There can never be enough hiding places. Therefore, make sure that there is not too much unprotected space in the enclosure for very shy animals. For example, you can use various cork tubes and cork tunnels with a few grass nests, a Hugro cave and perhaps a grass or willow tunnel. You can give free rein to your creativity. Just remember that the tunnels, tubes and hiding places are often peed on.
Hiding places, tubes and tunnels for hamsters, rabbits and other rodents - which size for which rodent?
Good question! For hamsters, the passage should always be at least 7 cm for medium hamsters and at least 5 cm for dwarf hamsters. This is the only way to ensure that the hamster can fit comfortably through the opening even with fully loaded cheek pouches. This avoids nasty accidents and injuries. For rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, i.e. the largest rodents that hop around our home, you should always use the size variant that we have on offer. But you will also find in the description of each product which hiding place, which tube and which tunnel is best suited for which rodent.

Tips for using hiding places, tubes and tunnels for rodents
- Cork products: if you do not buy your cork products from us, you should either freeze them for 72 hours, bake them in the oven for 1 hour at 100 degrees or pour boiling water over them several times. This is the only way to ensure that there are no mites or similar in the cork. However, you don't need to worry about this with our cork products, as they are supplied cleaned ex works.
- Grass nests and hay tunnels: the same rule applies here. Please do not use them immediately, but treat them as mentioned above before use. This is the only way you can be sure that a pest has not nested in them.
- Securing the tunnels: if you are using a large or particularly heavy tunnel or tube, you should use a level or rack underneath if possible. Otherwise your rodent could be crushed by the weight. Make sure that if the rodent digs underneath or moves the tunnel, it is not in danger.
- Nibble houses, a snack for in between: as the name suggests, the nibble houses are absolutely edible. So your rodent can happily help itself to them - that's what they're designed for. This adventure food will certainly keep your rodent busy.
