Rodent hutch Ivan 120

swisspet rodent hutch Ivan 120

The Ivan 120 rodent hutch from swisspet extends over 2 floors. It is equipped with a connecting walkway, a floor run, a sleeping compartment and a plastic tub. The hutch is suitable for guinea pigs and rabbits.

A thermal windbreak, which is highly recommended in the cold season, and a suitable free-range enclosure can be orderedas an option.

If possible, wooden products should not be exposed to the elements without protection. Constant Moisture or standing directly in the snow leads to rapid wood ageing/wood decomposition. We recommend regular protective coating of the exterior wooden surfaces with animal-friendly varnish. Installation under a protective canopy is recommended.

Note: As guinea pigs and rabbits are social animals, they should be kept in a group of at least two animals for species-appropriate husbandry. Please also note that the animals should have several places to retreat to, preferably all together. There should also be several opportunities for the animals to keep themselves occupied.

The legally prescribed minimum dimensions are not the same as keeping the animals in the best possible conditions. Basically, the bigger the better. For a truly happy animal life, we therefore recommend that you choose the largest possible animal home and ensure that rabbits and guinea pigs have a permanent run of several square meters.

When buying a rodent home, rodent hutch or free-range enclosure, please observe the provisions of the Animal Welfare Ordinance. We also recommend that you carefully read the Swiss Animal Welfare brochure, which you can find under "Downloads".
