It’s also small and the base means they can’t burrow down to sleep which is what they would naturally do.
What you can do for now is use a shoe box, cut the base out and fill with bedding. It’ll likely turn into a bit of a burrow which is better. If you want to buy a new one then guinea pig sized houses (wooden ones not plastic) are a better size, rodipet also do very nice houses that are worth looking at.
Thank you so much. I do have a big wooden hut which I’ll put him for him
