Design Accessories For Small Mammals

For a long time, accessories for small mammals were pretty basic, and often unpractical. Nowadays, pet brands are finally offering innovative and modern looking products for little critters.

In 2016, the StayBowl has been awarded winner of Pet Business Recognition Award. The concept is simple : thanks to a broad rim, this bowl is a tip-free food dish. No more wasted kibble all over the cage !

Trixie uses the same idea with a similar bowl. The anti-slip rubber feet allow the bowl to stay in place when the rabbit or guinea pig is eating pellets. The colours are also somewhat innovative, because they are unusual : bright green, but also deep purple.

The French company Hamiform is now starting to produce their own line of accessories. They made beautiful food dispensers, smooth, with rounded edges. There is one you can fix to the cage’s bars, and another one that can stand. The edge on the front is reinforced with a metal trim, preventing the rodents to bite it.

Another clever design is the one of the Savic chinchilla “bathtub” Wellness. With its futuristic oval shape, it prevents the rodent to spread all the dust when it’s taking its dust bath.

Minimalism and green products are very trendy at the moment. So what’s better than a minimalistic wheel made of naturial material ? The wooden wheel by Trixie allows small rodents to run with style. It also prevents them to chew the plastic wheels are usually made of.

After eating and exercising with style, time to go to bed ! Zolux made an extremely beautiful Neo basket for rabbits or guinea pigs. It is made of confortable felt, and its sheer lines will perfectly match the elegant cages Nevo and Neo.

For its rodent house called Sputnik, the brand Savic created an audacious and handy design : the house is made of a sphere with two feet, allowing it to either stand or being suspended. It can also be dismantled in order to be cleaned easily.

The brand also has in its catalog Pebble, a little plastic house with a design looking like it has been taken from the 1950’, in green, blue or pink.

Their colourful Rody Tunnel is also quite interesting for rodents and rabbits, because, with its modern look, it is both a tunnel and a den.
