About this piece

A large cupcake-shaped rat hide with a wide entrance, enclosed interior and colourful heart-sprinkle detail.

The substantial adult-rat size provides a covered place to rest and nest while the included metal fittings allow the hide to mount securely to standard wire cage bars.

Material: plant-based polymer with metal fittings

Included: one purple-and-white cupcake hide and cage fittings

Use: indoor rat cage hide and bed

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

Before you order

This is a large hide. Check the 33 x 25 x 20 cm dimensions, entrance and planned mounting position against 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 it if it becomes damaged or rough.

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).
