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

Its probably my fault entirely, but this pod was much smaller than I expected it to be based on the measurements provided. In the past, Ive been notoriously incapable of predicting the sizes of these small animal accessories -- for example, I recently ordered one of those jw brand walk-up barns and it was about 3 times bigger than expected. However, based on the reviews and Questions/Answers, it sounded like it would fit not only one but 2, 3, or even 4 rats at once! Now granted, my little guy is far from petite, but he rarely uses this thing -- alone! The shape doesnt even look comfortable. I would also be worried to leave it hanging upside-down; I originally put it in that way, but it did not seem secure. I didnt trust it to hold one male rat. For what its worth, this product is certainly neat & innovative, and may be well-suited for other pet owners. Personally, though, Ill stick with the tried & true igloos and such from now on.

Totally in love with this brand. Id love a softer option for my rat babies but they are so destructive when it comes to bedding/hammocks. Game changer....

Very cute and my Ratty Girls love it! When I received the package there was only HALF of the pod in the box (the underside of the pod was there, the canopy was missing). It also had a manufacturers note stating that the vendor must build the pod prior to sale of the item. Not sure what went wrong there, whether a machine pulled only half of the pod for shipping or what, but I called Amazon and they shipped me another out right away and it came whole and is great.

Reusing cardboard boxes is all good and well, but they get...pretty stinky after a while. I bought two of these for my ratties; one for the male cage, one for the female cage. The girls went right to it, but the boys took a while to get used to it. It helps if you put some fleece shreds or paper towels in it to convince them that its cozy. Note: I dont know how many other peoples rats do this, but my rats will NOT pee or poop inside of their little pods. They will just push their butts out and pee/poop on the outside. As a result, the shelf beneath the pods gets...pretty nasty pretty quickly. Just something to keep in mind.

My rats love it so much they like to cuddle in it together even though it should probably only be big enough for one. Its super easy to clean and you just have to clip it into place, theres things on the bottom so you can clip it upside down on top of the cage if you have little climbers :)

Small: This is cute but way too small for my daughters fancy rats. It is made for tiny creatures like mice, gerbils, and other tiny animals. The hooks for hanging the pod are angle weirdly so you have to fudge it a bit to make it hang. Updated: 16 Nov 2020 - My first review was for the small one. You have to be sure you click on the right size. Large: This one works great for my daughters fancy rats. One of them really likes the small one for when he just wants alone time. They both love the large one when they want to cuddle together.

its a decent nest spot, and my rats do like hanging out in it. its pretty thin plastic -- a determined rodent could definitely chew through, but mine arent particularly interested in doing so. 4 stars because the hang clips dont actually work, so it has to sit on a surface. i like that its extremely easy to take apart and clean.

What can I say. I purchased 2 of the Space Pods for my rats. I was able to assemble both and hang them in the cage in 5 minutes. It freed up a lot of floor space. The rats explored them for a few minutes then ignored them for awhile. Guess they wanted to think about it before making up their minds. When I looked in the cage an hour later they were all curled up in their Pods sound asleep. My rats rate this item 5 stars, and so do I.

I purchased two of these, as I have one cage of males and one cage of females. This is the first accessory that both boys and girls absolutely love. I hung one in each cage, and every day the rats are curled up inside. Two large boys have no issues squeezing in together, and even my three girls will cuddle in theirs. It comes in a variety of colors, and stands up to the occasional chewing. It is so simple to clean. The two pieces snap apart, and I can soak it in the basin while Im cleaning the other cage parts. I intend on always keeping one in the cage from now on.

I see fb and youtube videos of peoples rats hanging out in these but my girls dont use it at all not even sometimes. The product is good quality and good in other ways just have no interest from my girls to use it. I have even tried hanging it and placing it on the cage floor.
