Rodent Tunnel Clara for Mice, Rats, Small Guinea Pigs & Ferrets

Rodent Tunnel Clara for Mice, Rats, Small Guinea Pigs & Ferrets

The Clara Rodent Tunnel is a soft tunnel with a warm sheepskin look. Your animal can walk through it, rest inside, or use the tunnel as a sheltered spot in the enclosure. Thanks to the soft interior, the tunnel feels cozy and provides extra comfort for animals that like to crawl through tunnels or seek out a soft resting place.

This tunnel is available in two sizes. The smaller size is especially suitable for mice. The larger size is a better fit for dwarf rats, rats, small guinea pigs, and ferrets. This way, you can choose the size that best suits your animal's body size and how you intend to use the tunnel.

What use is this tunnel to your pet?

Mice, pygmy rats, rats, small guinea pigs, and ferrets often enjoy sheltered spots. A tunnel feels like a safe passage: your animal can walk through it, sit out of sight for a moment, or lie down quietly inside. This makes the Tunnel Clara particularly valuable as a soft resting and hiding place.

For rats and ferrets, the tunnel can be a nice place to crawl into during moments of rest. For mice, the small size can be a sheltered route. For small guinea pigs, the larger size can be a soft, low tunnel to walk through or rest in for a moment.

Why owners choose this

For owners, the Clara Tunnel is an easy way to add comfort to the enclosure. You don't need to assemble anything complicated: simply place the tunnel in a quiet spot, and your pet can choose whether to walk through it or lie down inside.

At DRD, when it comes to soft textile products, we primarily consider the animal's behavior and body size. This tunnel is best suited for animals that use textiles to walk through, rest in, or sleep peacefully. For real destroyers and animals that bring textiles along as nesting material, we prefer natural or sturdy tunnels made of wood, cork, ceramic, or cardboard.

Which size do you choose?

Choose the size based on your animal's body size and how you intend to use the tunnel. The opening must be wide enough so that your animal can easily pass through without having to squeeze.

For mice: soft, sheltered route

For mice, the small Tunnel Clara can be a nice, sheltered passage. Mice enjoy using routes, tunnels, and hiding places. Additionally, the soft interior makes the tunnel suitable as a short resting spot.

When dealing with mice, make sure to check if they leave the textiles tidy. Some mice can pull off soft materials or take them to the nest. If that happens, it is better to choose cardboard, cork, wood, or other natural tunnel material.

For pygmy rats and rats: soft tunnel and resting place

For pygmy rats and rats, the larger Tunnel Clara is a nice, soft tunnel. Rats enjoy using tunnels as a passageway, play area, or resting place. Thanks to the soft interior, the tunnel can also be a cozy spot to lie in together or alone.

When it comes to dwarf rats, always pay attention to their actual body size. Dwarf rats can vary from one another, so check if the tunnel is spacious enough for your animals. Additionally, check regularly for fraying, loose threads, and gnaw marks.

For small guinea pigs: soft, low tunnel

For small guinea pigs, the larger Tunnel Clara can be suitable as a soft, low tunnel or resting place. Always place the tunnel on the bottom of the enclosure so that your guinea pig can easily walk in and out without having to climb or jump.

Carefully check if your guinea pig fits comfortably through the opening. For larger guinea pigs, a wider tunnel is often more pleasant. Use the tunnel in a dry place and preferably not in a toilet area, so that it remains clean and fresh.

For ferrets: soft tunnel to crawl through

Ferrets often love tunnels. The larger Tunnel Clara can be a fun, soft tunnel to crawl through, play in, or just lie in for a while. Place the tunnel in a spot where your ferret can easily get in and out.

Ferrets can play enthusiastically. Therefore, regularly check that the tunnel remains intact, especially at the seams and edges. Wash or replace the tunnel when it is dirty, wet, or heavily worn.

For which animals is the Clara Rodent Tunnel suitable?

• Mouse: suitable as a soft tunnel, sheltered route, and resting spot, especially in the small size.
• Dwarf hamster: not suitable. For dwarf hamsters, we prefer natural tunnels made of wood, cork, ceramic, or cardboard.
• Hamster: not suitable. Hamsters may mistake textiles for nesting material or start pulling at them; a sturdy tunnel is usually a better fit.
• Gerbil: not suitable. Gerbils are real destroyers and will likely gnaw textiles to pieces quickly.
• Dwarf rat: suitable in the larger size, depending on the actual body size of your dwarf rats.
• Rat: suitable as a soft tunnel, passageway, and resting place. Check regularly for wear and gnaw marks.
• Guinea pig: suitable for small guinea pigs in the larger size. For larger guinea pigs, you should preferably choose a wider tunnel.
• Ferret: suitable in the larger size as a soft tunnel, crawling place, and resting place.

How do you use the Clara Tunnel?

Place the tunnel on a flat, dry spot in the enclosure or run. Preferably use it as a soft resting place or passageway, not in a toilet area. Ensure that your animal can easily enter and exit the tunnel and that the tunnel does not get stuck.

Textile inspection: this ensures the tunnel remains pleasant to use

Textile products remain most comfortable when your pet uses them calmly. Therefore, check the tunnel regularly for fraying, loose threads, holes, thin spots, and chew marks. Temporarily remove the tunnel when it is wet or dirty, and replace it when it is no longer neat and safe.

Do you notice your animal pulling at the fabric a lot or trying to destroy the tunnel? Then that is valuable information: your animal would probably benefit more from sturdy shredding material or a tunnel made of wood, cork, cardboard, or ceramic.

Combine with other soft resting places

Would you like to create a soft resting corner? Then you can beautifully combine the Tunnel Clara with other soft resting spots, such as a basket, igloo, hammock, or hanging tunnel. This way, you create a quiet, warm place for animals that like to lie on something soft.

Please note that soft items are primarily suitable for animals that neatly use textiles. For strong rodents, it is better to choose natural, sturdy materials as a base.

Cleaning and maintenance

Regularly remove hair, bedding, and loose dirt from the tunnel. Clean the tunnel gently according to the washing instructions on the product label or with a light hand wash when appropriate. Allow the tunnel to dry completely before putting it back.

Do not use the tunnel when it is still damp. A dry tunnel remains more comfortable for your pet and helps keep the resting place fresh.
