£6?! Eh?!
The Giant ones are probably the best for GPs, Wilsons Pets sell them for £2.99 or my local pet shop do them for £2.35 lol

They are a couple of pounds in small pet shops. Would not like to pay those sort of prices :D Hate people getting ripped off with over priced stuff. I saw a pet carrier in a shop the other day for double the price and told them so ;D Ali just looked at me think I embrassed her >:D

I cant remember who it was on here but I have seen a picture of piping from houses they went to a building site and asked for it, I am going to get some when I get around to it!

If you have a carpet shop near you they will give you the tubes the carpet is rolled around they normally skip it , you can cut it to what ever length you need.
Free and easy :)

Why don't you go to a carpet shop and ask for the tubing used , i use it for my pigs, its basically undecorated chubs, cut the tub into sections with a saw , the guineas get a new one every month,
