ABSTRACT:
A habitat for rodents and a method for making same is provided. The habitat comprises a housing formed of coconut shell. The coconut shell defines a inner cavity therein. The coconut shell is comprised of a material resistant to gnawing damage by the rodents and has thermal retention characteristics to allow the rodent to burrow within the cavity in approximately adjacency with an inner curved surface of the coconut shell with body heat of the rodent being radiated and relatively retained by the coconut shell to heat a portion of the coconut shell to assist in maintaining the relative warmth of the rodent. The housing has an opening defining an entrance to the cavity with the opening being sized and adapted to accommodate the rodent therethrough.
