I bought a few tubes and my boys would fit through them fine. however I've not got two girls and they're HUGE. The smaller of the two got stuck in the tube, and the other one would no way in hell even remotely get in the tube.
Are there any hard plasticy tubes available for fat piggies?
I had a nice cardboardy one but it got covered in urine and got very manky.
 
I have a plastic hidey that has two entrances or you could adapt one with only one entrance and cut a new entrance.Cardboard boxes are good too.They can be chucked out when ruined.
 
you can get cardboard tubes meant for rabbits from pets at home and they are huge
maybe worth checking them out if you have bumper big pigs...

I think the cardboard tube from pets at home is the one I had, but yeah got quite gross.
Maybe I'll take a few boxes from work and use more of those.
 
I get split Toliet rolls but that is only to chew, it's surprising how many I get through.
I was looking at the humongous tubes but I reckon there a rip off to pay that money for them to pee on.Mine like Weetibix boxes.

I have seen tunnels aimed for cats or rabbits that are bigger
 
When you're about and about on a walk, look for where the local council has planted new trees, they put green correx pipes round them to protect them. The wind blows them away or local kids pull them off and throw them away. I've got about a dozen in my garden suitable for the guineas, rabbits and next doors cat to sleep in, and they're washable. ;)

I got a supply of various sized plastic (aka washable) tubes from he plumbing section of the local DIY store.
They were pretty cheap, and we use them during run/floor time.

I think I'll do that then had one that was concertina & the piggys pooped all the way through it wasn't easy to clean so I ditched it. Hadn't thought about getting them from a diy shop.
 
great ideas, thank you! The price for a rabbit size tube is 3x more than the guinea pig size (which is too small for my giant guinea pigs). So might use the DIY option
