Read moreDegu tunnels – wooden tunnels, willow, cork & soft tunnels for hiding and playing
Degus are curious, intelligent rodents: they like to run routes, duck when startled, and also simply want a safe place to rest in between. A good degu tunnel adds shelter, enrichment, and extra gnawing fun in one go. In this category, you'll find wooden tunnels (birch, alder, tree trunk), willow tunnels, cork tunnels, grass/herb tunnels, and soft tunnels such as cuddly and plush varieties. As specialists in rodents and rabbits since 2011, we select tunnels that are practical to use and match the degu's natural behavior. Do you like to combine tunnels with a deep digging layer? Then also check out Degu Bedding and, for an extra challenge , Degu Play & Foraging .
Natural, sturdy, and ideal for degus who love to gnaw and hide. Perfect as a permanent "walk-through" in the enclosure.

Willow tunnels and grass tunnels make climbing and "shooting through" extra fun. They also offer a nice variation in texture.

Cork is popular: sturdy enough for everyday use, with a natural “rough” texture that degus like to move over.

For degus who like to lie warm and sheltered. Choose a size they can easily get through and check regularly for wear and tear.

Why are tunnels such a good choice for degus?
A tunnel gives degus a clear "route" within their enclosure: from hiding place to feeding area, from play area to resting area. This aligns with their natural behavior: moving quickly, pausing briefly, and then moving on. Especially during a startle, a tunnel is also simply convenient: they can duck away for a moment. A tunnel also helps you design your enclosure more intelligently: you can create height, walking paths, and hiding places without creating clutter.
Which degu tunnel is right for your stay?
Looking for something durable and gnaw-resistant? Then wooden tunnels or cork are often the best base. If you're looking for variety and challenge, willow tunnels and grass tunnels are a good option. Soft tunnels are nice as an extra resting spot, but work best if your degus handle them well. Tip: combine a tunnel with degu gnawing material so they focus their gnawing needs on safe items.
Installing tunnels: on top of, between or partly under the ground cover
You can place tunnels on top of platforms or between furnishings so degus can sprint through them, or position them so they have to climb over them. In an enclosure with a deep digging layer (preferably around 20 cm or more), you can also partially embed a tunnel for a stable passage. Change the route occasionally (for example, move one or two tunnels) and you'll instantly make the enclosure interesting again.
Checklist
✔ Choose a tunnel with an opening that your degu can comfortably pass through.
✔ Combine at least one “fixed” tunnel (wood/cork) with one changing tunnel (willow/grass/soft).
✔ Place tunnels stably (do not wobble) and prevent pinch points or falling points.
✔ Want extra variety? Combine it with a food challenge in Play & Forage .
Safety
✔ Check tunnels regularly for splinters, loose parts or sharp edges and replace if damaged.
✔ Soft tunnels: check extra for frayed or loose threads and remove them if they are being chewed on a lot.
✔ Never place tunnels in such a way that an animal can become trapped between the tunnel and the bars/platform.
✔ Place your tunnel in a dry place and prevent it from getting wet for long periods (hygiene and material preservation).
FAQ
Are wooden tunnels suitable as gnawing material?
Yes, degus like to gnaw. Wood and cork are often good choices because they feel natural and suit their gnawing habits.
Can I also use a soft tunnel for degus?
That's possible, provided your degus handle it properly. Check for wear and tear and remove the tunnel if there are many loose threads.
How many tunnels do I need?
Typically, two to four tunnels work well: one fixed route (wood/cork) and one or two alternating tunnels for variety. In a larger cage, this number can easily be increased.
