tree shrew housing

Simple, safe and secure housing
for even the shrew-dest of shrews

To say tree shrews are “fast” is putting it mildly. 

When it comes to housing these zippy Group 1 primates, simple, safe and secure design is key. Our tree shrew housing is all of the above, with the added bonus of ergonomic, easy-to-use features and options for feeding, transferring, and more. 

Our base design—in your choice of stainless steel or vinyl-wrapped wire mesh—is a classic 1-over-1 configuration with 3.33 sq.ft. of floor space. Set it up as two units (upper and lower), or remove the center pan and floor to convert your tree shrew housing into one full-height, climbing-friendly unit. 

Plus, thanks to our state-of-the-art engineering system, we can customize your tree shrew housing in a heartbeat. Bigger? Smaller? Deeper? Different front door features? If you have an idea, we have a way to make it happen. Just ask!
