Tunnel for small animals Trixie 62831 — wooden tunnel, width 250 mm, for hamsters

Tunnel for small animals Trixie 62831 is a wooden tunnel designed for small pets, recommended for hamsters. With a 250 mm internal width, the tunnel creates a sheltered passage and hiding spot inside cages and habitats. Constructed from natural wood, it provides an opportunity for chewing and exploration while integrating with a variety of enclosure layouts.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers a durable, chewable surface that supports natural gnawing behaviour and helps maintain dental wear. Its open-ended tube design allows easy access and visibility for monitoring animals. The neutral appearance and compact dimensions make it suitable for placement in different cage setups without occupying excessive floor space.

Suitable for

• Hamsters and similar small rodents
• Enrichment and hiding in home cages
• Play and exploration areas inside habitats

Key specifications

• Material: natural wood
• Internal width: 250 mm
• Design: straight wooden tunnel, open at both ends
• Function: hiding place, play object, chewing material

How to use

Place the wooden tunnel on the cage floor or secure it against a stable surface to create a sheltered route and hiding spot. Check that the tunnel is positioned so animals can enter and exit freely and that it does not obstruct ventilation or cage access. Regularly inspect the wood for excessive wear or splinters; replace the tunnel if it becomes unsafe. Clean the surrounding area as part of routine cage maintenance; the wooden tunnel itself should be spot-cleaned and allowed to dry thoroughly.

Usage recommendations

Introduce the tunnel gradually by placing familiar bedding nearby to encourage investigation. Combine with other hideouts and enrichment items to support varied activity and natural behaviours while monitoring for signs of over-chewing or damage.
