Greater than one weekMy rats just loved these. The second I put them in the play pen with the tubes they were running in and out of them like crazy. Love to see them happily play with their toys :). Very strong and sturdy. I don’t imagine even my rats could chew through these in short order

> 3 dayI couldnt get my three pet rats interested in this tunnel. They gave it some cursory exploration when it first arrived, but they werent interested in crawling through it or hanging out in it. I suspect that might be because it is very lightweight and therefore moves around a lot; the rats probably find that off-putting. If the tunnel is placed in a straight configuration, it just rolls from side to side like a log. If its curled into a C or S shape, that stops it from rolling, but it just slides on our hardwood and tile floors. Its also not a very pleasant material for animals to walk on or sit on, due to the multiple small hard plastic ridges. This tunnel is also INCREDIBLY noisy when you extend it, contract it, or try to change its shape. As in, ear-splitting noisy. It makes a series of loud popping sounds like firecrackers. This noise would certainly wake up my rats if they were sleeping. My preschooler likes to reshape the tunnel for fun, but I am not a fan of all the racket he makes with it! Given how little interest my rats showed in this when it was outside their cage (in their free roam area), I never ended up putting it inside their cage, where space is limited and I want to put only the best items. It could be that because my ratties are spoiled with lots of cage-free time, they have less interest in knick-knacks like this. All I can say is that they got zero benefit out of it. Your mileage may vary. PS. Its not that my rats dislike tunnels! For their playtime, I make them temporary tunnels out of rolled-up yoga mats, which they love. This particular lightweight hard plastic tunnel just didnt pass muster with them.

> 3 dayMy carpet snake (ferret) loves this tunnel. He will run through it, sneak attack you from it or play hide and sneak in this thing. The only thing Im a little disappointed in, is the fact that it gets so many dents and things so easily. Not that its a huge deal, I just have to scrunch it back up and maneuver it so it goes straight again. Its still all in one piece and he has no problems with the dents.. well mostly.. he will get made if it is too big of a dent and dig at it and hiss at it. Its great entertainment for us though.

Greater than one weekMight post photos later, but I got this for my two ferrets. They go inside and claw at it a lot and its barely scratched. They use it whether or not i am in the room and can change shape easily. When fully extended it is long, but not excessive. The tube is too small for one ferret to pass over the other so they have to back out if both are in, but its pretty funny to watch anyways so i dont see that as a negative. I gave it a three star to clean because, even stretched out, there are areas you just cant get in. Luckily my babies dont poop in their toys so cleaning doesnt need to happen often.

> 3 dayMy rats love this tubing! That said, it is a hard item to clean well inside and out. On warm days we can stretch it out and hose it down inside and out. On a cold day I attempted washing it in the kitchen sink. Hard to get soapy water into allnthe folds. I might try a soapy rinse in the shower next time. Its just a difficult item to clean due to all the folds. I set it outdoors for 24 hours completely stretched out to dry.

> 3 dayThis is one of my rats favorite things! They have lots of places to hide and play in but this is but far one of their favorites. At least one of them is always sleeping in it. It is really ready to clean however they do chew the hell out of it so I did have to buy another but it lasted several months. Even with the holes its still useable I just got another for when the holes get too big!

> 3 dayMy blue tongue skink loves tunnels so this was perfect for him. He is obsessed. The second he goes into his play pen he runs to his favorite purple tube. Getting him a second blue one right now!

> 3 dayNanny asked me to buy this to make a ball tunnel for my toddler. It seemed to do the trick, even if it wasn’t what it was designed for.

Greater than one weekmy rat’s definitely loved it but it’s absolutely not for in cage it’s so hard to clean after they’ve put food bedding pee and whatever else they can find in a week it’s more of a free roam toy
