A rabbit burrow tube needs to be wide enough for your largest bunny to get through. A small pet will happily hop through a wide tunnel, but a larger breed will not be able to squeeze through something too small. The Zippi Rabbit Tunnel has this covered, being wide enough to accommodate even the largest breeds.
How big a hole can a rabbit fit through?
A rabbit can fit through a gap as small as 2 3 inches. Indeed, a rabbit can squeeze through a gap that is a lot smaller than its body. Like many animals, if a rabbit can put its head through the gap, then its whole body will be able to pass through.
How long can rabbit tunnels be?
