Highlighted Reviews

— Nicola

"My bun loves to sit on top of the tunnel (as well as inside). I wish it was natural wood. I've tried various stick tunnels - this was the most durable and strong enough for my Holland Lop to sit on without collapsing"

— Haley

"There's metal rods running through this which is completely unsafe for small animals to be chewing. It would be nice if you stated that there's metal rods in it instead of listing wood as the only material"

Bottom Line

While the Kaytee Tropical Fiddle Sticks Small Animal Flexible Hideout offers good value and versatility, its size limitations and potential safety concerns make it an average choice. It is best suited for smaller pets and those who can ensure it stays dry.
