Review: Good for the price - Got this to use as a nest for my parakeets. I like the fact that it's easy to take apart to clean or put away when not needed. Also like that I can make my own base for it and that is has a large opening. It was easy to put together. Comes with clear picture instructions but is easy to figure out without them. Seems well made and doesn't smell strongly. Doesn't seem to have many splinters but I'll probably still sand it down to be safe. Would buy again if it's on sale for $10 like it is now. Most parrot nests are $20 or more and are a pain to clean out. I added a picture of the only real flaw I found which was a corner that looked chipped but it doesn't affect anything it's just cosmetic. Size wise I'd say it's too small for anything bigger than a single guinea pig if even that. Tall enough for a chinchilla but not really wide enough for anything other than a single chinchilla to sleep in. Perfect for a Syrian hamster, rats, gerbils. I'll try to update the post if/when my parakeets start using it.
Review: Not sturdy like it used to be - I bought this same item earlier this year, it was very sturdy especially when putting it together. I needed to buy a new one for my chinchilla since she chewed it to pieces. So I ordered the exact same thing - except this time the wood snapped in half when putting it together, the top wouldn’t fit no matter what, looks like the two wood beams on it were glued in the wrong spot. Very unfortunate and I ended up having to spend more money on a different house since this was was extremely cheap/easily broken this time around.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how large is this house? Does it  have a back?**
A: This house is waaaay waay to small for a chinchilla do not buy this if it is for a chinchilla. If you have degus, or rats this will work but to small for chinchillas. Yes it does have a back you have to build it yourself though

**Q: does this box have a floor to it? as in, can it be used for dust baths?**
A: No floor. Don't recommend wood of any kind for dust bath. Had to toss out all wood when my chin got ringworm. My chin loves it as a hut. He's chewed it up and it's still holding up.

**Q: Are there nails in this or not? Im seeing a lot of conflicting reviews on that.**
A: NO, not at all...it is held together very well. The lid is removable.  MY Chinchilla loves to take the roof off and nipple on it a little.  I bought it in NOV 2020 and still looks new.  He plays in it, I bought him a hanging fleece hideout and that is where he sleeps if not on the granite stone chiller.  But I like this item and so does my pet.  Sorry there are so many conflicting reviews.  He jumps on this and runs in and out.  It is a toy to him.  Good luck, I know you will make the right decision depending on your pet.  Hope this helps a little.

**Q: How long does this product last before having to replace it?**
A: I broke it trying to put it together. My chinchilla wasn't very interested in it anyways. I ended up throwing it away so I am not sure how long it lasts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent!
*by P***E on March 3, 2024*

These are decently priced for what you receive. I much prefer these wooden huts, as I have rats and they constantly chew. I would much rather they chew wood instead of bits of plastic from igloos or sputniks. My only complaints with this and similar products is that wood absorbs urine and will become stained and smelly after long term use. This product does not have a floor, which is an excellent design choice to avoid excessive urine build up on the interior, which could be very detrimental to animals with sensitive respiratory tracts such as rats. They do enjoy lounging on the tops however, so the tops do have this absorption issue and get nasty quick. These huts will also fall apart fairly easily after the rats have chewed the corners where it connects. Once this happens, I simply spread the pieces out and rearrange them when I clean cages. They still utilize the pieces as chew toys, even if its no longer a hut.
