Ceramic houses for rodents - Robust & cooling hiding places
Ceramic houses offer hamsters, mice, guinea pigs and other rodents safe and comfortable retreats. Thanks to their weight, they are stable and cannot be easily knocked over, which provides additional safety in the enclosure.
The insulating properties of ceramic make these houses ideal shady and cooling places, especially during hot summer days. They are also easy to clean: With water and a small brush, all areas can be cleaned effortlessly, which supports hygiene in the rodent home.
Many of our ceramic houses are characterised by creative designs that are not only functional, but also enhance the appearance of the enclosure. Manufactured without glue or nails, they provide a durable and safe environment for your small pets.

Frequently asked questions about ceramic houses
Basically for everyone! You only need to be careful with the openings. Just as with the houses, you need to make sure that the hamster can easily slip through without getting stuck, even with full cheeks.
Ceramics are a perfect choice if an animal's home needs to be cleaned very frequently. For example, because it is in quarantine. The hiding place is then washed out with hot water and can be used again without risking infection with mites, for example.
In principle, however, a piece of ceramic (or a house with a slate slab) should not be missing in any rodent home. As mentioned, these are the perfect shady places to cool off in summer!
The material is extremely robust. Your rodent may try to bite into it, but it won't damage it. At the same time, you don't need to worry about him injuring his teeth. He wouldn't bite that hard out of instinct.
This is simply an act of curiosity, because the little rascal naturally wants to know what he is dealing with. Rarely is it a case of marking the new hiding place. But then scent glands and pee marks are used instead. Your pet will quickly get used to the new ceramic furniture.
Yes and no. Generally speaking, there is no cause for concern if your hamster suddenly chooses a different hiding place to sleep in instead of its usual nest. Why don't you check his actual nest, is it swarming with any vermin that you haven't noticed yet? This happens faster than you might think.
On the other hand, it could of course be due to a very simple temperature problem. The hamster may simply be trying to cool down and is therefore hiding there. Make sure that the temperature in the room with the cage never exceeds 25 °C, as it can become dangerous above this temperature! The optimum temperature, however, is only 20 °C.
If the hamster is otherwise healthy and its actual cage is clean, you don't need to worry about anything else.
