Looking for a rabbit tunnel that is strong, durable, flexible and designed with rabbit welfare in mind?
You’ve found it.
At Pets Playstore, we’ve been specialising in rabbit tunnels since 2018 and have sold more than 10,000 tunnels to rabbit owners across the UK.
Our tunnels are also RWAF Approved and are currently listed by the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF) as an approved rabbit accommodation product. RWAF assesses approved products against welfare-focused criteria including size and suitability, safety and materials, physical and emotional wellbeing, and overall product quality.
This isn’t simply a piece of plastic pipe marketed as a rabbit toy. We’ve spent years supplying rabbit tunnels, understanding how they are used and developing a range of sizes and accessories specifically for rabbit owners.
There are plenty of cheap plastic tunnels available, but our tunnels are different.
Our Rabbit Tunnels & Connectors are listed in the official RWAF Approved Products directory, giving you confidence that the product has been assessed against recognised rabbit welfare standards.
We’ve been selling rabbit tunnels since 2018 and have supplied over 10,000 tunnels to rabbit owners.
That experience matters. We know which sizes work, how rabbits use them and what rabbit owners need from a tunnel system.
Our tunnels are manufactured from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) – an exceptionally strong and durable material.
The material is actually manufactured for use as land drainage within the construction industry, rather than being a lightweight pet product designed simply to look like a tunnel.
The result is an extremely robust tunnel that can withstand substantial pressure and everyday use.
In fact, an adult weighing around 100kg can stand on the tunnel without it collapsing or deforming under normal conditions.
We are currently unaware of another UK rabbit tunnel supplier offering these two specific sizes:
We call them 6 inch and 8 inch simply because this makes choosing the correct size much easier for customers.
The 6 inch tunnel is suitable for most smaller and medium-sized rabbits, while the 8 inch tunnel provides additional room for larger breeds or rabbits that prefer a more spacious tunnel.
There is no weight restriction on either size.
Our tunnels are available in a range of lengths, allowing you to create anything from a short hideaway to a large tunnel system.
Available in lengths from 1ft to 8ft.
Available in lengths from 1ft to 6ft.
It’s important to understand that the flexibility of the tunnel depends on its length.
1ft and 2ft tunnels have limited flexibility because they simply aren’t long enough to form significant bends.
From 3ft upwards, there is enough material for the tunnel to flex and curve, allowing you to create different routes around your rabbit’s accommodation.
Longer tunnels can be particularly useful for creating interesting layouts between a rabbit’s hutch, house and run.
Rabbits are naturally inquisitive animals that enjoy exploring, running, hiding and navigating enclosed spaces.
Wild rabbits live within interconnected burrow systems containing tunnels, entrances and chambers. While a domestic rabbit’s environment should never rely on a tunnel as a substitute for appropriate space, tunnels can provide an excellent form of enrichment and another way for your rabbit to interact with their surroundings.
A tunnel can give your rabbit somewhere to:
And because rabbits don’t all use enrichment in exactly the same way, you can experiment with different layouts to find what your rabbit enjoys most.
One of the best uses for our tunnels is to create a secure connection between a rabbit’s hutch, house and exercise run.
Instead of simply having your rabbit walk from one area to another, you can create a tunnel route between them.
This can give your rabbit an additional way to move around their environment while making their accommodation more interesting and stimulating.
Our Hutch/Run Connectors allow the tunnel to be securely attached to a suitable hutch, house or run.
The connector slots into the grooves of the tunnel and can then be bolted to the structure.
Please note: Hutch/Run Connectors are sold separately.
For more information about rabbit accommodation and why rabbits need considerably more space than a traditional small hutch, see our guide:
You can also find further rabbit welfare advice from the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RWAF).
Why stop at one tunnel?
Our tunnels can be connected together to create a much longer route or even a more elaborate tunnel system.
We offer two types of tunnel connector:
Our plastic tunnel connector provides a simple way of permanently joining two lengths of tunnel together.
This is ideal if you want to create a longer tunnel and don’t expect to regularly dismantle it.
Our heavy-duty removable connector allows two tunnels to be joined while still making them easy to separate.
This is particularly useful if you want to:

Our HDPE rabbit tunnels are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
They can be:
Yes.
The tunnels can be buried in the ground and are perforated to allow water to drain through them.
However, the surrounding ground must also be reasonably well-draining. If the tunnel is installed in heavy clay or an area where water naturally collects, drainage will obviously be restricted by the surrounding soil.
If you are burying the tunnel, always consider the overall construction of your rabbit’s enclosure and make sure it remains secure and predator-proof.
Rabbit tunnels can become dirty, particularly when used outdoors or in a rabbit run.
The smooth HDPE material makes our tunnels easy to clean and they can simply be hosed down with water.
For setups where regular removal is desirable, our removable heavy-duty tunnel connectors make cleaning and rearranging your tunnel system even easier.
We also sell end caps for both tunnel sizes, allowing you to close off the ends when a tunnel isn’t being used.
Very strong.
Our tunnels are manufactured from HDPE and were originally designed around a material used for land drainage in the construction industry.
They aren’t designed to be a flimsy disposable rabbit toy.
A 100kg adult can stand on the tunnel without it collapsing under normal conditions.
That gives you an idea of just how robust they are.
However, rabbits are exceptionally determined chewers, so while the tunnels are extremely strong, they are not chew-proof.
There is no realistic material that can be described as completely chew-proof for a rabbit. If your rabbit begins consuming significant amounts of the plastic rather than simply investigating or occasionally chewing it, the tunnel should be removed.
The tunnels can be left outside permanently and are suitable for outdoor rabbit runs.
However, like many plastics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and UV radiation over several years can cause the material to become slightly more brittle.
For the longest possible lifespan, consider positioning the tunnel so that it isn’t exposed to intense direct sunlight all day, particularly during the summer months.
Build your rabbit’s tunnel system exactly how you want it.
Secure your tunnel to a suitable hutch, house or run.
Join two lengths of tunnel together.
Create a tunnel system that can be dismantled, moved or cleaned more easily.
Close the ends of tunnels when they aren’t being used.
When you’re buying a rabbit tunnel, you’re not just buying a length of plastic.
You’re choosing something that your rabbit may use every day.
That’s why we’ve spent over five years specialising in rabbit tunnels, sold more than 10,000, offer multiple sizes and lengths, and have had our Rabbit Tunnels & Connectors approved by the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund.
We don’t just sell rabbit tunnels.
Rabbit tunnels are something we specialise in.
So whether you’re looking for a simple 1ft tunnel for enrichment, an 8ft tunnel for your rabbit run or you’re planning an entire interconnected tunnel system, you can buy from a supplier with years of experience in the product.
6 inch (160mm external / 135mm internal)
Ideal for most smaller and medium-sized rabbits.
8 inch (200mm external / 170mm internal)
Provides additional internal space and is particularly suited to larger rabbits.
Choose your preferred diameter and length above and start building a more interesting environment for your rabbit.
