Product Information
Full details
The Rosewood Boredom Breaker Flexible Hideaway is an essential enrichment tool for pet owners looking to provide rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas, and tortoises with a customizable environment. Its standout benefit is the modular wire-linked design that allows the structure to serve as a bridge, ramp, or secure den, promoting natural foraging and exercise behaviors. While its natural wood construction is perfect for gnawing, potential buyers should note that the hideaway's footprint varies significantly depending on the shape created, which may require careful planning for smaller cage enclosures.

FAQs
Is the wood safe for my pet to chew?
Yes, the hideaway is made from natural, untreated wood designed specifically to be safe for gnawing pets.
Can this be used for outdoor runs?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor use, though exposure to wet weather may shorten the product's lifespan due to the natural wood composition.
Will this support the weight of a large rabbit?
The structure is robust and can support the weight of most rabbit breeds when shaped into a stable arch.
How do I prevent it from sliding on solid floors?
Place the hideaway on a rug or mat, or push the ends slightly against the side of the enclosure to anchor it.
Can I connect multiple hideaways together?
While there are no built-in clips, you can place them side-by-side or overlap them to create larger tunnels or more complex play structures.
Troubleshooting
The structure loses its shape over time.
Retighten the bends manually; the flexible wire is designed to be reshaped as often as needed.
Pet is reluctant to go inside the hideaway.
Place treats or favorite bedding inside to encourage initial exploration and positive association.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the hideaway, simply bend the structure into the desired arch or shape within your enclosure. For a stable den, push the ends slightly into the substrate to prevent sliding. To ensure the safety of your pet, periodically inspect the wire connections to ensure no ends are protruding. As the product is made of natural wood, it cannot be submerged in water for cleaning. Instead, spot clean with a dry brush or lightly wipe down with a damp cloth and allow it to dry completely in the air. If the wood becomes heavily soiled with urine, it is recommended to replace the unit to maintain hygiene standards.
