The correct configuration of the cage is very important for keeping small animals in a manner appropriate to their species. What exactly this should look like depends on the animal species. Nocturnal hamsters, for example, need a sleeping house. Chinchillas need a sand bath to clean their fur. However, there are some things that no small animal cage should be without: Drinking and feeding containers are part of the basic equipment. To keep the animals busy, it is advisable to buy toys that are adapted to their needs. Maxi Zoo offers you a large selection of products to furnish a cage for small animals. In our online shop you can buy accessories such as small animal houses, bridges and bunny drinkers.

Providing an adequate supply of water is important for health, so you should ensure that the animals have access to fresh drinking water at all times. This is possible with a water bowl or a water bottle. Bottles are attached directly to the cage and make it easy to check the water level. Because the bottle is sealed, the contents are not contaminated by litter, hay and other things – this can happen more quickly with a bowl. However, a bowl is easy to clean and allows the animals to drink naturally. Regardless of whether you want to order a hamster, guinea pig or rabbit drinking vessel, you should make sure that the vessel is heavy enough, so that the animals cannot knock the bowl over.

Many small animals’ diet consists of fresh and dry food. Easy-to-clean bowls are ideal for crunchy vegetables and fresh fruit. Feed racks prevent hay from lying around in the cage. They are available in both hanging and standing versions. Models made of wood or metal are highly recommended, as these materials are robust and durable. Some hayracks are attached to the outside of the cage. They are usually made of plastic so that the hay does not fall outside the cage. Snack toys provide a species-appropriate pastime. The relentless attempt to get to the treats hidden inside them will stop them getting bored.
