I received a Kaytee Igloo to review from Chewy.com.
Everyone who has had a rabbit or rodent seems to have had one of these! (It was difficult to find a friend who did not already have one!) And I got a lot of good feedback on the igloo.
Our guinea pig Piggy loved his. He did not climb it as some more adventurous piggies might, but he did like to spend time in his igloo.
From friends on the Igloo...
"My rats loved those things." -Jeremy Coffey
"My rats used them. The guinea pigs never cared to go in them but would push them around. All my rabbits were too big." -Alicia Weiland
"Have one for my piggie. Good quality. Easy clean. Sort of large for a pig, but he enjoys it." -Monica Massengale
"Penelope has some thing similar, and loves it!" -Nicole Dawson
"I haven't used them for my own piggies but we use them at Town and Country all the time!" -Kellie Marie
"I think my gerbils would destroy it." -Sara Tifft"
We always had to avoid these with our gerbils. They would have ingested pieces of it, too. We stuck with wooden or cardboard houses." -Kylee Karre
"I no longer have guinea pigs but when I did, they loved these. They would even move them like little turtles to the food dish." -Angela Bohling
"We had one that the piggies fought over. They loved it and did the turtle thing too--mainly because they knew if they left it, the other would steal it. I never figured out what the knobby things on the top were for..." -Cathy Babcock
Too small for almost any dog!
Luna is not impressed.
For a dog who constantly wags her tail, Joy found the igloo quite restricting.
So there you have it! Too small for (dogs and) bunnies. Not ideal for chewers like gerbils. But for guinea pigs and rats, both of whom appreciate a hiding space, these are a great addition to their habitat!
