FAQs

What pets is the TRIXIE Cork Tunnel suitable for?

The tunnel is primarily recommended for guinea pigs and rabbits. However, depending on the size selected, it can also be suitable for rats, mice, and other similar-sized small animals.

How do I choose the right size tunnel?

Consider the size of your pet and the dimensions of their enclosure. Ensure the tunnel allows your pet to comfortably pass through and fit inside, while also fitting within the available space. The product description provides size ranges (e.g., Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large).

Is the cork material safe if my pet chews on it?

The tunnel is made from 100% natural cork, which is generally safe. However, excessive chewing can lead to pieces breaking off. Monitor your pet and remove the tunnel if they are destructive chewers to prevent potential ingestion of large pieces.

How often should I clean the cork tunnel?

Clean the tunnel as needed, typically when you notice it becoming soiled or dusty. A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Ensure it is fully dry before reintroducing it to the enclosure.

Can I use multiple tunnels in one enclosure?

Yes, if your enclosure is large enough and your pets enjoy using them, multiple tunnels can be incorporated to create a more complex and stimulating environment.

Does the tunnel have an odor?

Natural cork has a mild, earthy scent. It does not typically retain strong odors like some synthetic materials. Ensure proper ventilation in the enclosure.

Troubleshooting

Tunnel is too large/small for the enclosure.

Refer to the size guide and consider purchasing a different size from the available range that better fits your pet's needs and habitat space.

Pet is not using the tunnel.

Ensure the tunnel is placed in a quiet, secure location within the enclosure. You can encourage use by placing a favorite treat or bedding inside initially. Allow your pet time to get accustomed to the new addition.

Tunnel feels unstable.

Secure the tunnel by placing it between walls of the enclosure, under heavy bedding, or by using pet-safe anchors if necessary. Ensure the base it rests on is level.

Dirt or debris accumulation.

Wipe down with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove from the enclosure and allow to air dry completely. Avoid soaking.
