About this piece

A Chinese temple rat hide with a tall pagoda roof, two entrances and included fittings for mounting it securely to cage bars.

The red-and-white architectural design gives rats an enclosed resting space without hiding the product's distinctive roofline and decorative detail.

Included: one Chinese Temple Rat Hide and metal cage fittings

Use: indoor rat cages with standard wire bars

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

Before you order

This is a tall, substantial cage hide. Check the gallery views, entrance and intended mounting position against the available space in your cage before ordering.

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.

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).
