Small pet houses, nests & hideouts
For hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits, a sheltered corner is more than just a place to sleep. It gives them somewhere to retreat when they want some quiet time. Small pet houses, nests & hideouts help create a dedicated resting space in their enclosure while supporting their natural instinct to seek shelter and feel secure.
Every small pet has its own resting habits: some prefer to curl up inside an enclosed house, while others feel more comfortable in an open nest. When choosing, consider your pet’s size, the available space in the enclosure and where they naturally like to rest. SMALL ANIMALS offers a range of options for creating a comfortable resting area within your pet’s living space.

Choose a hideaway that suits your small pet’s resting habits
When setting up an enclosure, it is important to balance a sheltered place to rest with enough open space for eating, moving around and exploring. Small pet houses, nests & hideouts should therefore be chosen with both your pet’s natural habits and the layout of their living space in mind.
Depending on where your pet likes to rest and how much privacy they prefer, you can choose from three main types:
- Small pet houses: suitable for pets that like to retreat into an enclosed space; choose a size that allows them to enter, leave and turn around comfortably.
- Nests and resting spots: a good choice for pets that prefer a more open place to relax, while still giving them a dedicated area for resting inside the enclosure.
- Hideouts: ideal for small pets that naturally seek covered spaces or enjoy burrowing into sheltered areas; consider the entrance size, placement and how much room remains for movement.
For different enclosure layouts and resting preferences, EPICPET offers a selection of houses and hideouts for small pets. Trixie adds further options for creating a comfortable place to rest and hide in line with the natural behaviour of small pets.
