About this piece

A chef hat rat hide with a wide doorway and enclosed interior for a playful food-themed cage.

The tall chef-hat shape creates a distinctive cage centrepiece while giving rats a covered place to sleep and retreat. It mounts to standard wire bars using the included metal fittings.

Approximate size: 24 cm wide x 17 cm deep x 23 cm high

Approximate weight: 400 g

Included: one chef hat rat hide and metal cage fittings

Production: Handmade to order in Cumbria. Dispatched in around 7 working days.

Before you order

Check the 24 x 17 x 23 cm dimensions, doorway, cage-bar spacing and intended mounting position against the available space in your cage.

Care and safety

Wipe with a damp cloth and allow it to dry fully before returning it to the cage. Check the fittings and edges during normal cage cleans and remove the hide if it becomes damaged, rough or heavily chewed.

Delivery: Free UK shipping. Tracked international shipping is available at checkout.

Standard unused items can be returned within 14 days of delivery in their original condition.

How it fixes: a headless bolt screws into a threaded metal insert in the piece, goes through the cage and is held on the outside with washers and a wing nut, so it tightens by hand. Fits cage bars up to about 2.5 cm (1 in).
