Gerbils are ground animals and love tunnels . In the wild, the animals also live in tunnels under the ground, which we also call burrows . In many cases, the gerbils dig the tunnels themselves, but sometimes they also take over a burrow of another animal that has already left the burrow. Being able to show natural behavior is very important for all animals, which is why we know how important it is for gerbils to be able to walk through tunnels.
Why do Gerbils like tunnels?
Gerbils are prey animals that do not like their enclosure to be too open. They like to walk around in the enclosure sheltered , so that they do not have to worry about being grabbed from above by a predator . The feeling of safety gives the animals peace and will also ensure that they become tame and accustomed to their surroundings more quickly.
Gerbils love tunnels with multiple entrances and exits, bends and different levels. That is also the reason why they seem to dig everywhere in the enclosure and everything is messed up in no time! A spacious enclosure and a thick layer of substrate stimulates their curiosity and gives them the opportunity to explore their territory. You can give the Gerbils a thick layer of diggable substrate or connect multiple tunnels and suitable tubes together to create an extensive tunnel system. The Rodipet Outdoor are very suitable for this or our gnaw-proof Bamboo tubes.
What types of Gerbil tunnels are there?
We distinguish between two types of tunnels . One tunnel is meant to be walked through freely. An example of this is a spacious tree bark tunnel . The other tunnel is meant as a challenge, such as the tree trunk tunnel . The tree trunk tunnel is often too small to get through, but the animals still enjoy making the holes in the tree trunk tunnel bigger so that they can get through at some point. They are then making their own tunnel, as it were. It is important to ensure that the tunnel is not too narrow and that the animals cannot get stuck in it.
What are Gerbil tunnels made of?
There are tunnels made of different materials. They are available in wood , plastic , cork , bamboo or grass . Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. We will tell you more about this in the article description. The most gnawing-resistant tunnel is made of bamboo , the so-called bamboo tunnels . Bamboo is incredibly hard and from experience we can say that Gerbils do not really like to gnaw on it, so the bamboo tunnels are left alone and last longer!
Wooden tunnels are eagerly gnawed by animals and that is of course the intention! This wears down their teeth and gives the animals something fun to do . Gerbils are energetic animals that are very busy in the wild. They also need something to do at home and gnawing on a tunnel to make an extra opening, for example, is something you get rid of your excess energy on.
Terracotta tunnels are ideal for Gerbils . In the winter they are nice and warm and in the summer they provide cooling. In addition, the tunnels provide perfect nail wear when the Gerbils walk through them.
We do not recommend plastic tunnels for Gerbils. They do exist, but will not be found for Gerbils with us. Plastic is a material that can easily be chewed through and the possible splinters of the tubes can cause injuries.
Plush, cotton and other soft materials are not suitable for Gerbils . This real rodent will make mincemeat of it and after a day or two a tunnel made of plush will be unrecognizable. The fabric can be dangerous for Gerbils. If they ingest it, it can cause blockages in the intestines. For this reason, we advise against hammocks and other fabric materials for Gerbils.
What should you pay attention to with Gerbil tunnels?
It is important that the openings are not too tight. Some holes are smaller and the animals are supposed to gnaw these holes open further as a form of challenge. However, it should not be the case that the animals get stuck in the holes. For this reason, it is important that the tunnels are checked regularly.
