Product Information

Full details

The Ferplast Arena Rabbit & Guinea Pig Home is designed for small pets like rabbits and guinea pigs, serving as a temporary or supplementary living space. Its primary benefit is providing a secure and comfortable area for resting, cleaning, or introducing new pets. A key consideration is its designation as a 'temporary home,' meaning it's best used alongside a larger primary enclosure rather than as a sole living space. The cage is constructed from wire mesh and eco-sustainably sourced wood, featuring a removable bottom for easy cleaning and including essential accessories.

FAQs

Is this cage suitable as a permanent home for a rabbit?

No, this cage is specifically designed as a 'temporary home.' While comfortable and useful for specific situations like transport or as a resting spot within a larger enclosure, it does not provide adequate space for a rabbit or guinea pig to live permanently. A larger, dedicated habitat is recommended for long-term living.

What dimensions are the cage?

The overall dimensions of the Ferplast Arena Rabbit & Guinea Pig Home are 100 cm in length, 62.5 cm in width, and 51 cm in height.

What accessories are included with the cage?

The cage includes a small house for shelter, a drinking bottle, a hay feeder, and a food bowl.

How often should I clean the plastic bottom?

It is recommended to clean the removable plastic bottom at least once daily to remove waste and maintain hygiene, especially given its role in collecting litter.

Can I use this cage to introduce two rabbits?

Yes, this cage can be a useful tool for introducing new pets. It allows them to be in proximity and gradually get used to each other's presence safely from within their own secure spaces.

What kind of wood is used in the cage construction?

The wood used is FSC-certified, meaning it is sourced from forests managed in an eco-sustainable way.

Can this cage be used for other small animals?

The cage is specifically designed and recommended for rabbits and guinea pigs. Its suitability for other small animals would depend on their size and specific needs for space and security.

Troubleshooting

Cage is wobbly after assembly

Ensure all wire mesh panels are securely clipped or fastened to the plastic base according to the assembly instructions. Check that the base is on a level surface.

Pet is chewing on the wood

This is normal behavior for some pets. Ensure the wood is untreated and safe. If excessive chewing is a concern, consider providing safe chew toys. For permanent housing, a larger cage with different materials might be more suitable.

Accessories are difficult to attach/remove

Gently wiggle the accessories into place. If they seem stuck, ensure there is no debris obstructing the connection points. Refer to the product manual for specific accessory fitting.

Plastic bottom difficult to clean

Ensure the bottom is fully detached before cleaning. Use a non-abrasive sponge and pet-safe cleaner. For stubborn messes, allow the cleaner to sit for a few minutes before wiping.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and comfortable temporary space for small pets.
  • Easy to clean due to the removable plastic bottom.
  • Includes essential accessories like a food bowl, water bottle, and hay feeder.
  • Constructed with eco-sustainably sourced materials.
  • Offers a safe environment for pet introductions or isolation of unwell animals.

Cons

  • Designated as a 'temporary home,' not suitable as a sole, permanent enclosure.
  • May require a larger primary habitat for adequate long-term living space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Ferplast Arena Rabbit & Guinea Pig Home is straightforward. Assemble the wire mesh structure onto the plastic base, ensuring it is securely fastened. The included accessories can then be placed inside according to your pet's needs. This cage is primarily designed for rabbits and guinea pigs. While it can be placed within a larger enclosure, it is not intended as a permanent, standalone home due to its size and function as a 'temporary' dwelling. For care, the removable plastic bottom should be cleaned regularly using a damp cloth and mild pet-safe cleaner. The wire mesh and wooden components can be wiped down as needed. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling to prevent mold or mildew.
