so i want to make a tunnel for my guineapig and i was thinking about useing pvc piping for it is this all right or is deadly to guinwa pigs
 
You mean like drainpipe material? No problem with that, if you are going to saw off ends just ensure you file the ends down so it’s not rough and won’t catch them.
Pigs will chew anything so naturally it’s important to inspect their toys etc for wear and tear.

i've used the 110mm drainage/underground soil pipe for years in the girls run, i cut the lengths with a hacksaw & draw-filed any burrs off, then smoothed off with some sandpaper. I had a few nuts & bolts & fixed them together, they love the long thin sloping pipe best :)
you can see a few pics &get the general gist of it.

the normal drainpipe/downpipe isn't wide enough for a piggybutt of any substance! they might get stuck in it :(

FloPlast SP3G Soil Pipe Single Socket 3m - Grey 110mm | Wickes.co.uk you can buy these in 3m length to cut down, or sometims 1m lengths are available.xx
 
My son acquired a length of 4" drainpipe from a skip for the piggies a couple of years ago and they all love it. I did make sure it wasn't sharp and disinfected it well beforehand.
