I need to buy Skippy some tunnels as I had to remove the cardboard ones I had because she was eating the paper from them. Anyway, there are some nice ones here but I just want to make sure they are safe for her to chew on. I know seagrass and willow is okay but what about the others, specifically:
The HAY N HIDE: Thick parchment roll coated in aromatic mountain meadow hay
The coconut fibre tunnel
The hyacinth (water grass tunnel) and
The reed grass tunnels?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! :thumbsup:

They look okay, but the one I would wonder about is the parchment covered with hay. How do they make it stick? There has to be something holding it together. The other ones look good though. The only thing is, they aren't going to last very long. Those hay houses/tunnels get destroyed pretty quickly.

Can you get PVC pipe and use it for tunnels?
 
I can get PVC pipes but I only need about one tube at a time just to put in her cage. I have other tubes for when she is out playing so that is not a problem. I don't really want the bother or the expense of buying a long piece of PVS Tube just to cut a small bit of for the cage!

I might not get the parchment thing then but I will buy one or two of the others and see how we fare with those!

Thanks for the reply

P.S. Is coconut and hyacinth definitely safe for chins?
