Cork tunnel L

Trixie Cork tunnel L for small rodents!

Trixie Cork tunnel L is natural and unique. Each cork tunnel has its own shape and that makes them so beautiful to use for hamster scapes, for example. The cork tunnel stimulates natural behavior in small rodents because it has a tunnel shape. Small rodents such as Mice, Dwarf Hamsters, Hamsters, Gerbils and Degus also live in tunnels and holes in the wild, which is why they feel completely at home around a cork tunnel!

✔ Made from 100% natural, untreated cork bark
✔ High quality cork (made from a piece of cork bark from the cork oak)
✔ Stimulates natural behavior

Cork tunnels not only provide a hiding place, but also give the animals the opportunity to climb a bit. A cork tunnel is absolutely no challenge for mice, gerbils and degus, because these animals can climb well, but for dwarf hamsters that is already a different story. Dwarf hamsters are bad climbers by nature, but they'll be proud of themselves when they brave a cork tunnel!

Are the nails cared for by the cork tunnel?

Thanks to the whimsical shapes of the cork tunnel, the nails are indeed carefully cared for when the animals clamber over them. However, the cork tunnel has no abrasive properties, it is more like a small pedicure.

How can I set up the cork tunnel in a challenging way?

We believe that the cork tunnel can also be used as a form of challenge for the animals. Thanks to the erratic shape of the bark, mice, gerbils and degus can at least get a good grip on it. For example, place the tunnel for these animals at a slight angle to a higher floor or use the tunnel as a form of bridge from one part to the other. However, do not do this with Dwarf Hamsters/Hamsters, because these animals cannot climb well and do not see depth. For Hamsters, for example, the tunnel can be buried in the bedding, so that the animals have a tunnel.

Can you hide snacks in the bark of the cork tunnel?

Yes! We have discovered that the cork tunnel can be used as a great snack hiding place. Simply place a treat between the jagged cracks of the bark and let the animals search for it and then try to get to it. What a great activity! Just like in the wild!

Is the cork tunnel big enough to walk through?

The inner diameter of these cork tunnels is between 10 and 19 cm. This is a good diameter for Rats and Degus, but it can get a bit tight for the slightly larger guinea pig. Small rodents such as mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters and gerbils can also enjoy this spacious cork tunnel.

The bark is not factory made, but comes from the cork tree. The bark is removed from the tree with all its natural elements intact, such as moss, natural fungi, roots, twigs, leaves, etc. You can easily brush these natural elements off the bark.
