Rosewood Naturals Edible Carrot Cottage for Small Animals

If you need an edible toy and hay house that also gives a secure place to rest, this medium carrot cottage provides a cosy hideout for small animals. Designed to be chewed and used as a den, it works as both a comfortable retreat and a boredom buster for enclosure setups where hiding and nibbling are important.

Made from cellulose fibre and coated with meadow hay and crunchy carrot, the cottage is bonded using only water and vegetable starch, so it is safe to nibble without artificial additives, glue or plastic. In practice that means you can place it straight into an enclosure as a combined shelter and chewable treat; expect some loose hay to shed over time, so position it on bedding or a tidyable area. The medium size is aimed at adult guinea pigs but the construction also suits animals such as chinchillas, rats and degus – observe how each animal interacts with it and replace the cottage when it becomes heavily chewed or soiled.
