Aquarium Use:
The Half-Barrels provide excellent hiding spots for shy or territorial species such as catfish, loaches, shrimp, and corydoras. The smooth interior offers comfort and protection, while the natural look makes it easy to integrate into aquascapes. They also support beneficial bacteria thanks to their porous surface, helping improve water quality naturally.
Terrarium & Rodent Habitat Use:
In terrariums, these hides retain warmth and humidity – ideal for geckos, frogs, and snakes. For rodents such as hamsters, mice, or rats, the ceramic structure captures body heat, creating a cozy space especially in colder months.
