Hamsters and Dwarf hamsters love tunnels. In the wild, the animals also live in tunnels under the ground, which we also call burrows. In many cases, the hamsters 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 hamsters to be able to walk through tunnels.
Why is a tunnel important for a Hamster or Dwarf Hamster?
Hamsters 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.
What types of tunnels are there for Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters?
We distinguish between two types of tunnels. One tunnel is meant to walk 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 find it great fun to make the holes in the tree trunk tunnel bigger so that they can get through at some point. They then make their own tunnel, as it were.
There are tunnels of different materials. They are available in wood, plastic and grass. The grass tunnels are very fun for hamsters; the animals love to nibble on the grass.
