I bought the log cabin as part of a set and was quite satisfied. Externally, it’s well-made, and my rats love it. However, they do tend to gnaw a lot, which ends up exposing rows of embedded nails—definitely not ideal and poses a high risk of injury for the animals. It should be pointed out that nails have been used here, and the side walls as well as the roof don’t appear to be solely glued together.

Yes, houses can actually be too big. Basically, this house isn’t anything special, apart from being quite large. It’s not really used much for sleeping, as they prefer to squeeze into the smaller houses in groups of six. The roof doesn’t get much enthusiasm either. Normally, my little ones like to lie on top, but most houses also have smaller or differently shaped roofs (e.g. waves). It’s okay, it’s big, but as a rat owner, you don’t really need it for the price.

I bought the house for my rabbit today, and the little one is really enjoying it. However, the downside is that nails are already visible from the start. Since my little one keeps nibbling on the bark all the time, I’m really worried she might pull out the nails and swallow them. I’ve now taken it away again. The risk is just too high that she could eat one of the nails. It’s a shame that the house is made this way because otherwise, it’s very nice. Conclusion: This house is not suitable for animals that love to nibble!

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!!

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.

Size-wise, it's good... my three ratties all fit comfortably inside together... and it's very sturdy (unfortunately without a base plate)! What bothers me is that it's not varnished (urine can soak into the wood without any barrier). Also, a nail was sticking out of the wood... and you should remove the glue residue (or rather, adhesive residue) that oozes out of the joints in many places before placing it in the cage. I don't know if it's toxic for my little ones, but I don't want to take any risks. I've noticed this issue with glue residue on all products from the Trixie brand so far!

My Merries unfortunately don't fit into any of the sleeping houses that have such large windows, as they can be seen there and have no protection.

My guinea pigs Mickie & Snoopy loved to hide in there. It was very sturdy, and both of them enjoyed nibbling on it now and then, but because of the visibly sharp nails, I decided to exchange the little house for a different one!

Well, I don't think the little house is that great! Slightly bigger rabbits can't fit in there at all! So, a tip for Zooplus!!! Why not offer slightly bigger houses? They would definitely be popular!!

So, my friend has one of these, it's quite nice, and the rabbit literally loves to chew on it. I wanted to get one too, but I have a big rabbit, it must be about 30cm long. I can never buy such great houses because mine doesn't fit inside, and buying a little house where my other doe can fit but can't lie down is just too silly for me.
