Ferplast Madriguera with Trousers and Bowl 44 x 26 x 15 cm

The Ferplast Madriguera with Trousers and Bowl is a thoughtfully engineered shelter designed to meet the needs of small rodents such as guinea pigs, hamsters, and gerbils. Its compact dimensions—44 cm in length, 26 cm in width, and 15 cm in height—make it an ideal addition to any cage or enclosure that requires a cozy, secure space for its inhabitants.

Material Composition and Durability

This product is constructed from high‑quality rigid plastic, ensuring long‑lasting resilience against daily wear and tear. The material is non‑porous, which helps maintain a clean environment by preventing the absorption of moisture or odors. Its smooth surface also makes it easy to wipe down with mild cleaning solutions, guaranteeing that your pet’s living area remains hygienic.

Design Features

• Sturdy Trousers (Steps): The madriguera includes a set of integrated steps that allow rodents to climb in and out with ease. These steps are positioned at an optimal height, providing both accessibility for the animal and safety by preventing accidental falls.
• Integrated Bowl: A built‑in bowl is seamlessly incorporated into the structure, offering a convenient spot for food or water. The bowl’s placement ensures that it remains stable during use while keeping the rest of the cage free from spills.
• Ventilation Holes: Strategically placed ventilation openings promote airflow, reducing humidity and preventing mold growth inside the enclosure.
• Secure Latch System: The design includes a reliable latch mechanism that keeps the shelter closed when not in use, protecting the animal from predators or accidental escapes.

Dimensions and Fit for Various Cages

The 44 x 26 x 15 cm size is specifically tailored to fit standard cages such as the Cavie 80 and Casita 80. Its proportions allow it to be placed in a corner or along the side of the enclosure without compromising space for other accessories. The compact footprint ensures that even smaller cages can accommodate this shelter without overcrowding.

Benefits for Rodent Health and Well‑Being

Providing a dedicated shelter like the Ferplast Madriguera promotes natural behaviors such as nesting, burrowing, and hiding. These activities are essential for:

• Mental Stimulation: The steps and bowl encourage exploration and problem‑solving.
• Stress Reduction: A secure hideaway offers a sense of safety, lowering anxiety levels in social or new environments.
• Physical Health: The sturdy construction supports weight-bearing activities without risk of collapse.

Maintenance and Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning the madriguera is straightforward:

1. Remove any food or water residue from the integrated bowl.
2. Wash the entire unit with warm, soapy water using a soft brush to reach the steps and ventilation holes.
3. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before re‑installing.

The non‑porous plastic surface resists staining, making routine maintenance quick and hassle‑free.
