Product Information
Full details
The Rosewood Boredom Breaker Flexible Hideaway is an essential enrichment tool for small pets like hamsters, gerbils, and mice who need to satisfy their natural nesting and chewing instincts. It offers the unique benefit of a shape-shifting design that serves as a bridge, tunnel, or ramp, keeping your pet's environment dynamic; however, because it is made of natural materials designed for gnawing, it will eventually wear down and require replacement over time.

FAQs
Is this safe for my pet to chew?
Yes, the hideaway is constructed from natural wood that is specifically designed to be safe for small animals to gnaw on.
Can I wash the hideaway?
It is not recommended to submerge the wood in water as it may swell or encourage mold growth. Spot clean with a dry brush if necessary.
Will this fit a guinea pig?
This medium size (27cm x 17cm) is primarily intended for smaller rodents like hamsters, gerbils, and mice; it may be too narrow for adult guinea pigs.
Does it come with clips or attachments?
No, the hideaway is designed to be free-standing or placed directly into the substrate of your pet's cage.
How often should I replace it?
Replacement depends on how much your pet chews the item; once it loses its structural integrity or develops sharp edges, it is time for a new one.
Troubleshooting
Hideaway won't hold its shape
Ensure the internal wires are twisted firmly at the ends and adjust the tension of the segments until the desired arch is achieved.
Pet is ignoring the hideaway
Try placing small treats or favorite nesting materials inside or behind the structure to encourage your pet to investigate the new layout.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Promotes natural chewing behavior to keep teeth healthy
- Highly versatile design allows for multiple configurations
- Encourages physical activity through climbing and tunneling
- Natural appearance blends well into various bedding setups
Cons
- Not a permanent structure due to natural chew-wear
- Size may be too small for larger breeds like rabbits or guinea pigs
- Requires occasional inspection for splintering after heavy use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply remove the hideaway from the packaging and bend it into your desired shape. Place it on a flat, stable surface within the cage, or secure it partially into deep bedding to create a sturdy tunnel entrance. It is compatible with most small animal enclosures, including glass tanks, wire cages, and plastic modular homes. To care for the item, keep it away from excessive moisture to prevent mold, and periodically inspect the edges for sharp splinters after your pet has finished a heavy chewing session. If the hideaway becomes heavily soiled, replace it, as natural wood can be difficult to sanitize thoroughly.
