How to Use

Place the Timothy Hut in your pet's habitat in a location where they typically like to rest or hide. Your pet can use it as a hideout, a place to sleep, or a chew toy. For added enrichment, hide your pet's favorite treats, pellets, or fresh herbs inside to encourage natural foraging behavior. As your pet chews and eats the hut over time, it will gradually break down—this is normal and provides nutritional benefits. Replace when the hut becomes too small or unstable to serve as a safe hideout.

Size

Available in Medium and other sizes—select based on your pet's size (medium suitable for guinea pigs, medium rabbits; large for bigger rabbits)

Storage

Store unused product in a cool, dry place. Keep away from moisture to prevent mold growth. Once placed in habitat, monitor regularly and remove if any mold or moisture damage occurs.

Notes

Small animals are prey species with natural instincts to hide, making hideouts essential for their psychological well-being. Unlike plastic hideouts, the Timothy Hut provides enrichment through destruction—pets can safely chew, shred, and consume it as part of their natural behaviors. The timothy hay provides the long-strand fiber crucial for digestive health in herbivorous small pets. Oxbow is a trusted brand among exotic veterinarians and experienced small animal owners for quality ingredients and species-appropriate designs. Supervise initial use to ensure your pet doesn't consume too much too quickly.
