Terracotta Rodent Tunnel for Rodents!

The Terracotta Tunnel is a beautiful large tunnel that, in addition to providing shelter, also helps to wear down the nails and provides cooling during hot days. Terracotta is quite rough and works almost like a nail file for the animals. In addition, terracotta also has an insulating effect, making it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

✔ Cool in summer
✔ Warm in winter
✔ Helps to wear down the nails
✔ Approaches the natural habitat

A tunnel approaches the natural habitat of small rodents. In the wild, these animals also live in tunnels and burrows. The tunnel also ensures that the animals feel safe because they are sheltered.

A nice idea is to place the tunnel under the bedding on the floor of the enclosure with the open side facing the front. That way you can easily watch what the animals are doing in the tunnel.

By placing the tunnel at a slight angle upwards, the nails wear down even better. The animals then have to walk slightly upwards, which puts more pressure on the nails.

What is terracotta?

Terracotta is Italian and derived from the Latin terra (earth), and the Italian cotta (baked). Terracotta is unglazed, hard-baked earthenware. Because terracotta is not glazed, it is quite rough, which means that the claws of rodents can wear down well when the animals walk over it.

Is terracotta easy to clean?

Yes, terracotta can be easily cleaned by rinsing it under water for example. If a puddle ends up on terracotta it can easily be rinsed out or treated with a urine spray .
