My ladies love it
I bought this house once before and thought a second one couldn’t hurt! It’s brilliant and I’d buy it again! My ladies love it! They have loads of space!

Good for indoors, bad for outdoors
My two guinea pigs actually really liked the little house. Unfortunately, it fell apart after just the first small rain shower. I glued it back together with wood glue, but that didn’t help much. On top of that, small worms burrowed into the wood. Before long, it was completely unusable. A real shame, actually...

Wood is fine, workmanship is poor.
Our little furry friends love the houses, and I also find the wood quality better than many other houses. However, we were shocked to discover that a lot of nails become exposed due to the nibbling. This could potentially injure the rabbits or, worse, they might even swallow them... and I don’t even want to imagine that scenario. In my opinion, optimal and safe craftsmanship looks different. I even wrote to the manufacturer and suggested improvements on how the house could be assembled in a more environmentally and animal-friendly way. Even if it meant paying €5 more, it would be worth it for the safety of my furry friends. The manufacturer replied that they had never received a complaint about this before and that most customers are satisfied, and that was it.
So, either build it yourself (using dowels and/or safe glue) or regularly check if nails are sticking out and remove them or hammer them back in.

Still, one point of criticism
My six guinea pigs absolutely love this house! They do all sorts of things with it, like nibbling on it, jumping on it, sleeping in or on the house...! However, I do have one criticism: the window is a potential hazard for slightly chubbier guinea pigs. That’s why we turned the window into another entrance. Despite that, we still think the house is excellent!

Too small
I bought it for my Lionhead and my Japanese mix. The little one fits inside, but my big one doesn’t. He can’t even get through the entrance... too tight!!

Great house
The house looks nice, I think it's big enough for our dwarf rabbit. How long it will last, I don't know, as I only received it today.

Super house
The house is really well built, and my guinea pigs love it so much that they keep nibbling on it. XD
I just find the 'window' a bit silly. I customised the house to suit my needs. I sawed the front so that a large opening was created, and I also removed the sides. This way, they have many more escape routes.
Now it's perfect for my guinea pigs. ^^

Super house
I have all three houses of this type: Jesper, Hanna, and Jerrik. I'm super happy with all of them. My dwarf rabbits fit inside^^ and have settled in perfectly. I couldn't find any faults. I've had the wooden house Hanna for 3 years now, and it hasn't fallen apart yet. I haven't had the other two houses for very long, but they're great nonetheless.
However, I bought all the houses in-store and not ordered them here, as I read something about transport damage here beforehand.
So, I can only recommend all three houses.
Best regards,
Laura

Simply great!
Our guinea pigs also use the window as an entrance and exit. It’s very sturdy, space-saving, practical, and attractive. Absolutely recommendable.

Very good for very small dwarf rabbits and guinea pigs.
The house is of very good quality, and you don’t even have to assemble it. However, it’s far too small for my two rabbits (2.2kg and 2.47kg). It’s a shame that the same house isn’t available in a larger size! It’s only suitable for very small dwarf rabbits, guinea pigs, or other small rodents.

For half a year now, our guinea pigs' favourite.
We bought the large house half a year ago for our two guinea pigs, and it has proven to be very worthwhile. The size is perfect, and thanks to the round window, both of them can look outside. The window is also used as an exit. The guinea pigs are constantly nibbling on the log cabin and are currently expanding the window into a second door. However, they haven’t made it through yet ;)
We haven’t had any issues with the workmanship or stability. Nothing is sticking out, and the glued parts are still holding up perfectly.
Conclusion: Once the two have chewed through this house, we’ll definitely buy a new one :)

The surprise egg for rabbits
That's three in one...! Chewing, hiding, and sunbathing on top. My rabbits love your houses. They've been in use for 6 months now and are still in great condition! Regarding the protruding brackets and nails: somehow it has to hold together. From time to time, I grab a hammer and knock everything back in. My rabbits mainly use the houses to lie on top of them, up to three at a time, basking in the sun. It would be nice, though, to have a version without windows for more of a "cave feeling".

The Favourite Spot
The little house is perfect. Our dwarf rabbits love lying both inside and on top of the house, and pulling the bark off the wood.
This purchase was absolutely worth it.

Great
So, I got the larger one for my guinea pigs, and it offers enough space for 4 piggies inside!
The "window" is actually more like a gap, but you should remove any splinters beforehand!
Otherwise, everything's fine!

very sturdy
I bought the Jerrik log cabin for my two guinea pigs and I have to say that I’m very impressed with its sturdiness. The only small modification I made was to remove the entire front of the house, including the window, as I personally see windows as a potential hazard.
Overall, I can definitely recommend this product.

Poor workmanship - not recommended!
The house looks super nice, but only at the beginning.
We've had it for 6 weeks now, and already in 4-5 places the nails or staples from the stapler are coming out (they're sticking out properly – a clear risk of injury)! I think that's absolutely outrageous! It's obvious that the rabbits will nibble and chew on the house. I absolutely refuse to buy a house in this price range every 6 weeks.
The manufacturer needs to step up and fix this. As has often been mentioned here, this house also has those glue marks, which aren't particularly appealing either.
Or is it actually intentional on the manufacturer's part that the houses aren't meant to last long??

Perfect for my gerbils
29*18*16 – my three desert gerbils now live inside it. After four weeks, the house is still standing. Really well made, and they have plenty of space inside. Sure, they've chewed through another hole now, but other houses at the same price were completely gnawed apart after just two weeks! I love this house, definitely recommend it!

Super house
Our two dwarf rabbits love this house. Not only do they enjoy being inside it, but they also love nibbling on it even more. A fantastic activity for rabbits and surprisingly durable despite constant chewing.
