How To Use The Teatime Tunnel For Degus

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Unwrap Your Teatime Tunnel

Remove the tissue paper and check that both ends of the cardboard tunnel are securely sealed with the loofahs.

2. Place It in Your Degu Enclosure or Playpen

Position the Teatime Tunnel in an area where your degus naturally explore and forage, allowing them to discover it at their own pace.

3. Watch Your Degus Explore

Observe how your degus interact with the tunnel. Some may solve the puzzle quickly, while others take time to investigate and explore. Watch how they work to remove or chew through the loofah to access the forage hidden inside.

4. Encourage Natural Foraging Behaviours

The Teatime Tunnel is designed to provide mental stimulation and enrichment by encouraging natural chewing, exploring & foraging behaviours.

5. Monitor Use and Remove if Damaged

Regularly check the Teatime Tunnel during use. If your degus begin excessively chewing or eating the cardboard tunnel itself, remove the toy & discard any loose pieces. While small amounts of cardboard chewing are generally safe, the forage inside is intended to be the main reward.
