Grass Tunnel Herbs, Vegetables & Flowers for Rodents

Grass Tunnel Herbs, Vegetables & Flowers for Rodents

The Herbs, Vegetables & Flowers Grass Tunnel is a natural tunnel made of meadow hay with a floral and herbaceous outer layer. Your animal can walk through it, shelter inside, sniff at it, and nibble on the tunnel at its own pace. This makes the tunnel not only a fun passageway but also a natural enrichment item for the enclosure.

At DRD, when it comes to tunnels, we focus primarily on what your animal can do with them. A good tunnel provides shelter, makes routes more interesting, and helps to create a more natural layout for an open enclosure. This grass tunnel adds scent, texture, and nibbling fun through the combination of meadow hay, hibiscus, millet, marigold blossoms, and rose petals.

The tunnel is available in three sizes: 19 × ø7 cm, 25 × ø13.5 cm, and 30 × ø21 cm. This allows you to choose the size that suits the size of your animal and how you want to use the tunnel: as a small hiding place, a spacious passageway, or as a natural tunnel house in the enclosure.

Advantages of the Herb, Vegetable & Flower Grass Tunnel

✔ Natural tunnel with floral and herb outer layer
✔ Provides your animal with a sheltered route through the enclosure
✔ Fun to nibble on, examine, and move around
✔ Available in multiple sizes for small and larger animals
✔ Combines beautifully with hay, bedding, cork, houses, and tunnels

Why choose this grass tunnel?

A tunnel immediately makes an enclosure more enjoyable. Animals can walk through it, disappear into it for a moment, or use the tunnel as part of their regular route. This provides more variety than an open, flat layout, especially for animals that like to hide and prefer to choose how they move through their enclosure.

This grass tunnel has the added advantage of being made from natural materials. The exterior, adorned with flowers and herbs, invites sniffing and nibbling, while the tunnel shape provides shelter. This way, you combine furnishing, foraging, and nibbling fun in a single item.

Because the tunnel is available in three sizes, you can tailor it well to your animal. The small size is nice for small rodents, the medium size for animals that need more space, and the largest size for larger animals or an extra wide passage.

Which size do you choose?

With tunnels, size is more important than just the species name. Always consider your animal's body size, the opening, and how your animal uses the tunnel. A tunnel must be easily accessible so that your animal can move through it in a relaxed manner.

For which animals is the Grass Tunnel suitable?

The Herbs, Vegetables & Flowers Grass Tunnel is suitable for various rodents and rabbits, depending on the size chosen. Always choose a diameter that suits your animal's body size and movement.

• Mouse: the small size is suitable as a natural tunnel, hiding place, and gnawing object.
• Dwarf hamster: the small size fits nicely into hamsterscaping as a sheltered passageway or natural tunnel.
• Hamster: choose the size based on the size of your hamster. For larger hamsters, a larger diameter is often more comfortable.
• Gerbil: suitable as a tunnel, gnawing object, and part of a gerbilscaping setup. Gerbils enjoy actively using such materials.
• Guinea pig: choose a spacious size, preferably the largest variant, so that your guinea pig can walk through the tunnel comfortably.
• Rabbit: choose the largest size and match this to the size of your rabbit. The tunnel can serve as a passageway, hiding place, or gnawing object.
• Chinchilla: choose a generous size and use the tunnel as a natural passage, hiding place, or gnawing material.
• Degu: choose an appropriately spacious size and use the tunnel as a passageway, gnawing object, and natural structure in the enclosure.

Use as a tunnel, hiding place, or chew object

Place the tunnel loosely in the enclosure or incorporate it into a natural route. You can place it near a house, lay it next to a sand bath, partially incorporate it into the bedding, or combine it with other tunnels. This creates an enclosure with more route options and shelter.

For small rodents, the tunnel works well as a passageway between different zones. For guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and degus, the larger size can serve as a spacious hiding place, tunnel house, or chewable furnishing element.

Beautiful for hamsterscaping and gerbilscaping

In a hamsterscaping enclosure, you can use the tunnel as a sheltered route between a house, sand bath, digging zone, and foraging area. The floral outer layer immediately gives it a natural look and makes the tunnel extra interesting to sniff.

In a gerbilscaping enclosure, the tunnel fits well with deep bedding, cork, branches, houses, and other natural materials. Gerbils can use the tunnel as a passageway, but also actively modify it and make it part of their own design.

The outer layer of flowers, herbs, and vegetables makes the tunnel attractive to explore. Some animals use it primarily as a hiding place, while others enjoy nibbling on the outside. Both forms of use fit well with this article.
