A typically plastic hideout built for rodents (particularly guinea pigs, hence their name). Guinea pigs are prey creatures, meaning that they get hunted by other animals. If you're a guinea pig owner, a pigloo is essential to the quality care of these beautiful animals. Pigloos provide an aesthetic element to your pet habitat, as they come in a variety of colors. They also come in different shapes- for example, they can range from castlelike structures to little huts. Pigloos are typically semi-clear, so that owners can see their piggy through the plastic. However they're slightly foggy, just enough that the piggy still feels secure and hidden.

n. Snow cave created by a wild boar in Canada.
