Why choose a large willow bridge?

A large willow bridge is a handy basic product for animals that enjoy shelter, routes, and variety in their enclosure. Thanks to its length of 65 cm, you can bend the bridge more widely than smaller willow bridges. This makes it better suited as a tunnel or shelter for larger animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets.

For rats, chinchillas, and degus, the bridge can also be used as a natural climbing or walking structure, provided it is placed stably. Additionally, willow is interesting for gnawing. This makes the bridge not only a furnishing element but also a form of natural enrichment.

Always use the bridge in a way that suits your animal. For guinea pigs and rabbits, low and stable is usually the most comfortable. For rats and ferrets, the bridge can also become part of a route. For chinchillas and degus, extra supervision is important, as they can gnaw vigorously.

How do you use the Trixie Willow Bridge 65 cm?

• Bend the bridge into a tunnel shape and use it as a sheltered passage.
• Place it low as a bridge or canopy in the enclosure.
• Use it as a natural hiding place in a guinea pig, rabbit, or ferret enclosure.
• Place it upright as a divider or small wall to hold back bedding or aquascaping material. Then finish the gaps with, for example, dried moss or bedding, so that small paws cannot get between the twigs.
• Regularly check whether the bridge is still standing firmly and whether any loose parts are developing.

Thanks to its flexible shape, you can adapt the willow bridge to the enclosure. For larger animals, place it wide and low so that it remains stable. If you use it as a tunnel, ensure that your animal can easily get in and out. If you use it as a bridge, check that it does not wobble or shift when your animal steps on it.
