Log cabin Jerrik
Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the house. The price is fair, and my guinea pig Toffee absolutely loves it. However, the space inside the house wouldn’t be suitable for more than ONE fully grown guinea pig. What I also find a bit unfortunate is that the house is quite tall, which means older animals might struggle to climb up. All in all, though, I think the house is worth buying.

very large
The house is big enough to fit two rabbits inside. Nice design. However, you can easily get splinters. Still, 4 stars!!

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. ^^

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 :)

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.

Wow (for hamsters)
I recently saw the house in a shop. It's actually quite big. Bigger than I thought.
I just don't need a house, but I was positively surprised. The hamster size isn't as tiny as I would have expected, and the hole at the front is relatively large too.
The only downside – the non-removable roof... for hamster houses, it really should be removable.
And for a dwarf hamster, I would even use it as the main house, but for a Syrian hamster, it might be too small as the main house (depends on the animal, of course).

Great
I received the large house today after super-fast delivery and I have to say it's really great (though I still need to sand down a few corners).

Super (but...)
I ordered the largest house for my guinea pigs... it’s really nice and spacious. However, for rabbits, the entrance would be far too small, so I’m deducting one point.

Feel-good home
The house is perfectly suited for rabbits. My guinea pig also feels very comfortable in it. It's great for nibbling and looks very nice visually.
The only problem is that glue spots can be seen in some corners. However, these are in places where the animals don't nibble. There were also splinters visible at the entrances, which I sanded down myself.

My muscles...
... feel "super comfy". The house is big enough, and if it's not just used for sleeping, it can also be nibbled on. Unfortunately, the house is nailed together, so you should be careful about how much the animal is allowed to nibble.

My rats love it!
I've had this house in my girls' cage for several weeks now, and what can I say – they absolutely love it.
However, only if enough newspaper is stuffed inside; otherwise, it would be too bright for them.
One star deducted because the interior of the house isn't varnished, which reduces its durability.
Otherwise, absolutely recommendable.

Entrance a bit too small
The house is very nice, but unfortunately, the entrance was a bit too small, so I had to enlarge it.
However, my dwarf rabbits are absolutely thrilled with the little house.

It's not bad.
I bought the house for my chinchillas. So far, they haven’t accepted any of the little houses I’ve offered them. They only go inside this one to enlarge the windows and doors from the inside. But at least they often sit on top of it.
And criticising this house because guinea pigs could get stuck in the window is absolute nonsense. If you’re a guinea pig owner and know that this can occasionally happen, then you’d normally buy a house with openings that are big enough.

It's all right.
I would have preferred a door instead of the little window on the narrow side!!

Also suitable for rats :)
I ordered the little house as a bonus reward for my little ones and I’m very satisfied. The wood is nice and thick, sturdy, and the house arrived already pre-assembled.
At the moment, it’s still in my playpen, but it’ll move into the cage when one of the other houses gives up the ghost :)
Even with rats, it can happen that an animal gets stuck in a window opening that’s too small during a frenzy and injures itself or worse. However, I think the window of this house is big enough that even my two neutered males won’t get stuck in it – and they’re almost guinea pig-sized. The little door is also nicely large, and the house is heavy enough not to be knocked off the platform straight away.
All in all, very positive, even though I won’t be able to make it pee-proof due to the "log cabin construction," which might shorten its lifespan a bit. But it does make for a great chewing treat.

Very satisfied
I ordered the large version for my two dwarf rabbits and I’m completely satisfied with it. It’s big enough for both of them, and even my chubby lop dwarf can fit through the entrance! The material is also very nice and, most importantly, suitable for their needs, as they can easily gnaw on the untreated wood.
One small downside: the edges around the entrance and window aren’t well smoothed, so the animals could get splinters there. You just need to file down the wood a bit, and then there’s no risk anymore.

Wooden cabin
So, I put the log cabin into the cage 120. Looks great. Delivery was spot on, and I didn’t have to assemble anything. Plus, we really should move away from all that plastic stuff. My two dwarf bunnies can happily nibble on the wood. It’s just a shame that both of them don’t fit together in the 40. But they do like sitting on top of it as well.

Very nice, but..............
First of all, compliments to Zooplus: super-fast delivery, it arrived two days after ordering. It also looks very nice and is well received, but there were quite a few issues during assembly: The holes for the dowels didn’t align properly, so you first have to force the dowels in because the holes were too small, and then the side panels didn’t fit perfectly either due to the misaligned holes. This meant we had to get quite creative to make everything fit together properly, especially since the roof is removable. If the house ends up crooked because of the incorrect holes, the roof won’t fit anymore either. Another issue, which can be fixed with some DIY skills: The two entrances to the house seem to have been routed out, but inside there were unsightly wood splinters, some about 2 cm long and thick enough to potentially injure a small animal’s eye. So, these splinters had to be filed down at both entrances. If you address all these issues, it’s definitely a nice, high-quality house, and the price is justified. You just need to know what you’re doing, and since we’ve thankfully assembled quite a few things before, it wasn’t a problem for us. That’s why it still gets 4 stars. (I also assume that not all houses have these defects, but Zooplus should definitely keep an eye on this.)
