Lixit Critter Space Pod, Perfect for Small Animals (Small)

My two adult male rats adore this thing. We have it hanging from the roof off their cage and as soon as it was installed they were in it. They take all there naps in there and seem to have found the perfect rat nap configuration, with a head hanging out each hole. I love that is hangs on the roof of the cage. It saves the floor space for litter boxes and toys and them climbing into it makes it more fun.

Our rats absolutely love this space pod. All three of our fully grown girls can and do fit inside at the same time. It is one of their favorite snuggle spots. It is nice that you can either hang it from the top of the cage with the clips that are on the bottom of the pod or you can just sit it on a shelf. The clips are a bit delicate so you do have to be careful when hanging it so that they dont snap off. Our ratties love it so much that we have two of them. I would highly recommend one (or more) of these for your rat friends.

I have three rat babies (full grown) and they love it. They alternate between that and their shredded up hammock. But mostly stay in there. And so far with the winter they just bring pieces of hammock into the pod and cozy up in it. Haha probably the most utilized thing in the cage

I just got one today, and it was super easy to put together! 2/3 of my little boys are still trying to figure it out, but one of them really likes it. I think itll take them some adjusting because theyre used to boxes and hammocks, but it does seem right up their alley! Eventually theyll figure it out, maybe some yogies inside will spark interest

Update: I have since tried a few more times. Ive gotten it secure enough that eventually both my rats took to it and love it. It doesnt fit both rats very well so they sometimes fight over it. Smaller than I thought it would be (that part is my fault), seems like very cheap material that will come apart and the connectors dont feel secure. I worried that this would fall down with my rats in it.

Ordered this a few weeks ago and it took no time at all for my two males rats to start tussling over who got to sleep in it. And when they are in a snuggly mood, they squeeze both of their tubby butts in there. Its a definite hit. As for me -- I like it because it is easy to install, it is easy to remove and clean, and if I ever decide I do not want it hanging from the top of the cage anymore I can just flip it over and it sits on a surface. Really great product.

My little ratties like it but it was kinda weird to install. The pegs to go over the bars are in a triangle shape and the cage bars are parallel but its stays where I put it so I guess thats what counts. I forced it in there, hoping it wouldnt break, and it didnt. Its not big enough for my two fat boys to get in together but they still prefer their pocket hammock anyway.

This thing looks cute in the cage and maybe hamsters or mice would like it, but its never been a favorite of my rats. I found it quite difficult to hang, but it seems flimsy sitting on the floor. Its too small for more than one male or two female ratties. My gerbils would never have used it either. Ok, its mostly just good for esthetics.

So I bought this for my 4 rat boys who are housed in a feisty ferret cage. Now the cage isnt the best and I was worried that the Sputnik pod wouldnt clip on to it. But it did just fine. Im a little afraid I might snap off the tabs because the bars are kinda thick. So I will just pop off the top of the sputnik and wipe it down with vinegar and water to clean it. My boys went right for it and my biggest rat Dean claimed it as his before I got all 3 legs hooked on. It came in the purple and turquoise color shown.

My daughter’s hamster likes it but still not use to it. I like the multi-use either to hang it or set it on the bottom of the cage.
