Cork tunnel L

Trixie Cork Tunnel L for small rodents!

The Trixie Cork Tunnel L is natural and unique. Each cork tunnel has its own unique shape, making them perfect for use in hamster scaping, for example. The cork tunnel stimulates natural behavior in small rodents because it's shaped like a tunnel. Small rodents like mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, and degus also live in tunnels and burrows in the wild, so they feel right 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 offer a hiding place but also give animals the opportunity to climb a bit. For mice, gerbils, and degus, a cork tunnel poses no challenge at all, as they are good climbers. But for dwarf hamsters, it's a different story. Dwarf hamsters are naturally poor climbers, but they'll be so proud of themselves once they brave a cork tunnel!

Are the nails cared for by the cork tunnel?

Thanks to the irregular shape of the cork tunnel, the nails are indeed gently cared for as the animals climb over it. However, the cork tunnel doesn't have any abrasive properties; it's more like a mini pedicure.

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

We believe the cork tunnel can also be used as a challenge for animals. Thanks to the irregular shape of the bark, mice, gerbils, and degus can easily get a good grip on it. For these animals, place the tunnel at a slight angle upwards to a higher level, or use it as a bridge from one section to another. However, don't do this with dwarf hamsters/hamsters, as they can't climb well and don't have a depth perception. For hamsters, the tunnel can be buried in the substrate, for example, so they have a tunnel.

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

Yes! We've discovered that the cork tunnel can be used as a fantastic snack hideaway. Simply place a treat between the irregular cracks in 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 internal diameter of these cork tunnels ranges from 10 to 19 cm. This is a good diameter for rats and degus, but it might be a bit cramped 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 isn't 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.
