Rodent Hanging Tunnel Clara for Mice, Rats, Degus & Ferrets

The Clara Rodent Hanging Tunnel is a soft tunnel designed to be hung in the enclosure. Your pet can crawl through it, lie inside, or use the tunnel as a cozy resting spot. Thanks to the soft interior, the tunnel feels warm and sheltered, while the hanging system allows you to easily create an extra sleeping or play area in the cage.

This hanging tunnel is available in two sizes: 26 cm and 45 cm. Which size is suitable depends on the size of your pet. Therefore, always check the size carefully as well as the green animal logos on the product photo. These indicate which animals the chosen variant is intended for.

What does your pet get out of this hanging tunnel?

A hanging tunnel gives your animal an extra place to rest, sleep, and retreat for a moment. Mice, pygmy rats, and rats, in particular, like to use multiple levels in their enclosure. A soft, hanging tunnel makes the cage more interesting and provides your animals with a sheltered spot above the floor.

For ferrets, the larger size can be a nice, soft crawling and resting place. For degus, the hanging tunnel can be interesting if they use textiles neatly and enjoy using routes, platforms, and hanging spots in the enclosure.

Why owners choose this

For pet owners, the Clara Hanging Tunnel is handy because it adds extra comfort without taking up much floor space. You hang the tunnel from the bars or suitable attachment points and instantly create a soft, elevated resting place.

At DRD, when it comes to textile products, we focus primarily on size, behavior, and usage. This hanging tunnel is best suited for animals that enjoy lying in soft tunnels or crawling through a hanging tunnel. You choose the right size based on your animal's body size and the green animal logos on the product photo.

Which size do you choose?

The Clara Hanging Tunnel is available in two sizes. The smaller size is especially suitable for small animals. The larger size offers more space and is a better fit for larger animals such as rats and ferrets.

When making your choice, also look at the green animal logos on the product photo. These indicate, for each variant, for which animals the size is intended.

For mice: soft tunnel at height

Mice are true climbers and enjoy using different heights in their enclosure. The smaller Clara Hanging Tunnel can be a nice, soft resting place between platforms, branches, and other routes. Hang the tunnel so that your mice can easily get in and out.

Combine the hanging tunnel with other hiding places and natural materials, so your mice can choose between soft, sturdy, sheltered, and natural.

For dwarf rats and rats: sleeping together in a soft tunnel

For pygmy rats and rats, the Clara Hanging Tunnel is especially nice as a soft sleeping and resting spot. Rats like to lie together and often use hanging spots as their regular sleeping place. The tunnel shape provides extra shelter in this regard.

When it comes to dwarf rats, pay close attention to their actual body size. Dwarf rats can vary among themselves, meaning that one dwarf rat may be fine with a smaller tunnel, while another fits better in the larger version.

For degus: only with quiet textile use

Degus are active animals that enjoy climbing, jumping, and gnawing. The Clara Hanging Tunnel may be suitable for degus that use textiles. Hang the tunnel securely and make it accessible via platforms or a safe route.

For degus, sturdy platforms, tunnels, branches, and gnawing material remain the foundation. The hanging tunnel is primarily a soft extra resting place for animals that leave textiles alone.

For ferrets: soft crawling and resting place

Ferrets often love tunnels and soft resting places. The larger Clara Hanging Tunnel can be a nice place to crawl through, rest in, or lie down for a while in a sheltered spot. Hang the tunnel securely and make sure your ferret can easily get in and out.

The larger size makes the most sense for ferrets. Always check if the tunnel is spacious enough for your ferret and if the suspension fits the spot where you want to use it.

For which animals is the Clara Rodent Hanging Tunnel suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a soft hanging tunnel and resting place in an enclosure with safe routes.
• Dwarf hamster: not suitable. For dwarf hamsters, we prefer deep bedding, natural nesting material, and sturdy tunnels.
• Hamster: not suitable. Hamsters often do not use textiles as tunnels to hang from and can drag soft materials to the nest.
• Gerbil: not suitable. Gerbils are real destroyers and will likely gnaw textiles to pieces quickly.
• Dwarf rat: suitable, depending on actual body size and the chosen size.
• Rat: suitable as a soft hanging tunnel, sleeping place, and resting spot in the cage.
• Guinea pig: not suitable as a hanging tunnel. Low tunnels, baskets, or resting places are more practical for guinea pigs.
• Rabbit: not suitable as a hanging tunnel. For rabbits, you should preferably choose a low tunnel, a lying mat, or a spacious resting place.
• Chinchilla: not suitable as a standard target group. Sturdy platforms and tunnels are usually more logical for chinchillas.
• Degoe: suitable if your degus use textiles neatly and the tunnel hangs securely within reach.
• Ferret: suitable in the larger size as a soft hanging tunnel, crawling spot, and resting place.

How do you hang the Clara Hanging Tunnel?

Securely attach the tunnel to the bars or suitable attachment points using the suspension system. Ensure the tunnel does not hang too loosely and that your animal can easily enter and exit. For climbing animals such as mice, pygmy rats, and rats, the tunnel may be hung higher as part of a route.

Textile control: this ensures the hanging tunnel remains pleasant to use

Textile remains most comfortable when your pet uses it to lie in, crawl through, or sleep peacefully. Check occasionally to ensure the fabric, seams, and suspension remain neat. Pay particular attention to the entry openings and the areas where your pet frequently lies.

Do you notice your pet pulling on the fabric a lot or pulling off pieces? Then a sturdier alternative is often a better fit. Consider wooden tunnels, cork tunnels, ceramic hiding places, platforms, or natural decor.

Combine with other Clara items

The Clara Hanging Tunnel pairs beautifully with other soft resting spots in the same style, such as the Clara hammock, igloo, hanging cube, or baskets. This way, you create a complete soft resting corner for animals who love to lie comfortably.

For rats, for example, you can offer multiple resting places: a hanging tunnel, a hammock, and a small house or basket in a quiet spot. This way, your pets can choose where they want to sleep themselves.

Cleaning and maintenance

The Clara Hanging Tunnel can be hand-washed. First, remove hair, bedding, and loose dirt. Wash the tunnel gently and let it dry completely before hanging it back up.

Preferably use the tunnel in a place where it does not constantly get wet. This way, it stays fresh and remains a pleasant resting place for longer.
