Using this Oxbow Enriched Life Hay House is easy. First, assemble it according to the included instructions - it's a breeze! Then, fill it with hay. You can put the hay inside the house or place some outside for your pets to access from different angles. This house is great for multi - pet households, so let your chinchillas, guinea pigs, or rabbits enjoy it together. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the house for any signs of wear and tear. Since it's made of 100% untreated wood, avoid getting it too wet as this could damage the structure. You can simply wipe it down with a dry cloth from time to time. Keep in mind that it's designed for small pets, so make sure they can comfortably move around inside. Have fun watching your furry friends explore and play in their new hay house!
