Trixie Play Tunnel 50 cm for guinea pigs, rabbits and ferrets

The Trixie Play Tunnel 50 cm is a spacious tunnel for guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets. A tunnel provides your pet with an extra hiding place, a passageway, and a fun route to run through. Because the tunnel is open on both sides, it feels clear and accessible.

For guinea pigs and rabbits, a tunnel is often a favorite spot in the enclosure or run. They can walk through it, hide inside, or sit quietly in it for a moment. For ferrets, the tunnel is especially fun as a playful element during an active moment. The sewn-in crinkle foil makes the tunnel extra interesting to explore.

Why choose a play tunnel?

A tunnel aligns well with natural behavior. Many animals feel comfortable when they can choose between open space and shelter. A tunnel provides that choice: your animal can walk through it, take shelter inside, or use it as a safe passage between two places.

A tunnel is very nice for guinea pigs because they like to use sheltered routes. They often prefer running from hiding place to hiding place rather than straight through an open space. A tunnel can therefore provide a lot of rest and exercise at the same time in the enclosure or run.

For rabbits, a tunnel is also a recognizable part of natural behavior. Rabbits often find passages, burrows, and sheltered routes interesting. A tunnel makes the environment more varied and invites exploration.

For ferrets, the tunnel is primarily fun as a playful element. Ferrets are curious, active, and inquisitive. A rustling tunnel can therefore be a nice addition during supervised playtime.

How do you use the Trixie Play Tunnel?

• Place the tunnel on a flat, dry spot in the enclosure, run, or play area.
• Ensure that both openings remain easily accessible.
• Use the tunnel as a passage between shelters, houses, or quiet corners.
• Regularly check that the fabric, seams, and rustle foil remain neat.
• Remove the tunnel when your animal starts gnawing, pulling, or destroying it.

Use the tunnel primarily as enrichment and not as the only hiding place. Guinea pigs and rabbits also need sturdy houses or other permanent hiding places. The tunnel is actually fun as an extra route, a play element, and variety.

For which animals is the Trixie Play Tunnel suitable?

• Guinea pig: suitable as a tunnel, passageway, and sheltered route in the enclosure or run. With a diameter of approx. 25 cm, the tunnel is spacious enough for most guinea pigs.
