Tunnels for rabbits - any recommendations?

Hi :wave: I have been searching for a tunnel for my bunny to play in & wondering if anyone on here would recommend any? He is an indoor bunny so it will be in my kitchen area :D

Thanks! ;)
 
I just have the £3 cat ones from Asda/Tesco, my boy absolutely loves them but my girl isn't massively interested.
 
The water hyacinth tunnels I know he would love to chew but I was wanting something a little longer for him to run up & down, they look quite short :(

I have been checking my local tesco & asda for them and never find any, nor do they come up online :? strange but I will keep trying :D

I seen one in my local pets at home, a green plastic type one and I had a look online for it & read a shocking review that said their rabbit nibbled/ate bits of it as rabbits do & it killed it :shock: think I will avoid that one, whether the review is true or not it has scared me :shock:

my bunnies have one of those green plastic tubes and they love it! they have never chewed it though, so maybe better to avoid if you have a bunny that eats everything. I think those green tunnels are pretty popular, all the bunny people i know have them!
 
Hi,

There are the runaround pipes from www.runaround.co.uk, mine buns love theirs. They are about £10 for a four foot length, or u can go up to eight feet in length. They are sturdy and quite nibble proof I would say, but perhaps not the most attractive if its going to be in your kitchen but worth a look.
 
I know what you mean about the green tunnels, they are so popular + there are loads of great reviews about them so that's why I found that review strange, could possibly be made up :?

Love the look of both them tunnels from amazon! And the runaround site is fab if I ever decided to make a bit of an adventure playground for him in the back garden :) thanks everyone for the help! :D

I have the green one but my buns ignore it! Possibly because when I extended it it made a loud noise and scared Ren. I'm going to try one of the fabricky ones next time they're on sale somewhere.
 
Mine love the green plastic ones. I have 2 connected together and they are always running through them. Only problem is that they are easily chewed, and my buns love to chew! :roll: I put the left over edible tubes over the ends to stop them and it has actually worked. :shock:
 
the links above are for good ones, I have the rosewood one, one from PAH and the green plastic ones, my buns love them all
 
Fran and Faye have the green tunnel and chew it a lot. I am really worried now. They love the tunnel though.

George and Gemma, who are in my kitchen, have a pink cat tunnel which they share with Pippa (my cat who thinks she is a rabbit). They also have a cardboard box with a hole in (well, with lots of holes in now) and they prefer the cardboard box!!!

I wouldn't worry, if your rabbits have been using it for a long time & are clearly having a good go at eating it then it is perfectly safe :) honestly them kind of reviews could be someone being dramatic or untruthful, maybe bunny died of another cause but they think it was the green tunnel :?

There are sometimes green pieces of plastic in the run when I am cleaning it so they aren't eating it all. Both are fine. Gemma is slowly eating her way through the wooden cladding in my kitchen and I am sure that can't be good for her. She was chomping a receipt earlier and I took it away and gave her a carrot instead.

My bunnies do seem to eat things they shouldn't - Gemma tries to nom the cat food - although I do stop her - anyone would think I starved them!!!!
