Rabbit Tunnel 6 inch Diameter 8ft Length

Description

Rabbit Tunnel Lengths & Diameters

We stock two different diameter sized tunnels; the 6 inch/ 15 Centimetres and the 8 inch/ 20 Centimetres. The 6 inch diameter rabbit tunnels are perfect for most mini and small rabbits, with the 8 inch diameter being more suited towards larger breeds. The 6 inch diameter tunnels come in lengths ranging from 1ft – 8ft, whereas our 8 inch diameter tunnels are available in 1ft – 6ft lengths. Please be aware that the 1ft and 2ft length tunnels do have limited flexibility due to their length. When considering which diameter tunnel is perfect for your rabbit, please remember how small a rabbits natural tunnel size is, so both of our diameter varieties give them a lot more room to comfortably move around in.

A rabbits natural environment

As most people know rabbits in the wild will live in a rabbit burrow under the ground, this is for warmth and safety from predators. In order to get in and out of their burrows they will have a tunnel system, we believe our tunnels recreate a rabbits natural environment, especially when it is linked to a hutch. This recreates them running through a tunnel to be able to get to their safe place, in this case it would be their rabbit hutch or house. Our tunnels can also inhibit a rabbits natural urge to dig as they already have a tunnel there for them to go through, so they do not feel the need to dig one.

Boredom Breaker

Rabbits can become bored very easily, which is why it is important to provide your rabbit with lots of toys and to make their living area as fun as possible for them. Tunnels are a great way to make your rabbits home more fun and interesting, they are recommended by the RSPCA as a great toy to help enrichment. Especially if you link it with one of our rabbit houses or rabbit castles. Giving your rabbit more things which will keep them stimulated and can help to stop destructive behaviour.

Link your hutch to your run

Our rabbit tunnels are the perfect way to link a rabbit hutch and run together, this gives them more space to run and binky around in, which is fundamental for a happy and healthy rabbit, you can read more on this in our blog entry on Why a Hutch is Not Enough and you can also check out the RWAF for more advice.  They can be connected to the hutch and run by using our hutch/ run connector. These slot into the grooves of the tunnel and bolt onto the hutch or run in order to secure it in place. Please note that connectors are sold separately. You can also connect two lengths of tunnels together if you wish to give your rabbit even more room to race through by purchasing one of our tunnel connectors.
