[squirrel]

i was wondering how to make a fleece tunnel. id like it to go the length of the cage

There's a few different ways, mine tend to be trial and error and turn out interestingly different each time. rolleyes
Hopefully someone who's a bit more accomplished at sewing will be along soon to give you advice. If it runs the whole length of the cage you will need to add a few emergency exit holes to avoid scuffles. I'd advise you putting a few shorter ones in a row, that way if one gets soggy and the others are dry you don't have to wash the whole lot for the sake of one wet spot, they'll also be easier to shake out.

There's an instruction here:

That tunnel turns out too small it needs to be 20" wide by how ever long you want it.

Thanks! I've never made one. Just saw the instruction there.

Here is another tunnel guide ( it is in German, but it has step by step pics) which I have been using for my sewing efforts.

I would recommend to make a tunnel in pattern paper first, so you can figure out the dimensions you need first.

With that length, you will also have to think about non rusting rings sewn in at intervals to keep the tunnel from collapsing. You will need a thicker layer of wadding than shown in the guide here.
