Hello and welcome  Google Ferret Fun nels. They are straight, elbow and T tunnels, plastic, dishwasher safe, come apart to wash easily, and connect in an amazing variety of designs. Each piece is sold separately. Guinea pigs don't climb, so they don't need the ball to add height to the design. I bought a lot of these eons ago, and still use them for play designs. These are Ferret Fun Nels used to create 10 feet of running space in a 2x4 foot store bought cage:  These logs make great pass-thru hide outs where the pigs can stay and take a nap, play through or climb over: www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=6067+20836+20841+27609&pcatid=27609I've had one of these for over 10 years. They are solid enough for the pigs to get a good chew out of them, provide pass-thru fun and allow light in through the top opening so the pigs aren't afraid to use it as a tunnel. www.petco.com/product/100637/eCOTRITION-Snak-Shak-Activity-Log.aspx?CoreCat=OnSiteSearchThese are Waffle Block houses made of matching flat pieces, some with doors. Each box contains two end pieces, a roof piece, a back piece and a front piece with a door. Mix and match to create runs, mazes, etc:  All that aside, a paper bag with a back door cut in it is endless fun, if short lived. Cardboard boxes with extra openings cut in them last a lot longer, especially if the bottom is removed so it doesn't get fouled. Draping a hand towel over the side of the cage so it covers outside and inside, and creates a pass-thru cave is also endless fun. Pigs play through, stop and sleep, etc. A towel or piece of fabric piled in the cage also provides endless fun. Pigs burrow under, jump on it, drag it around, and generally entertain themselves quite well. Using things around the house is free, which is the best price of all. If buying toys, buy multiple use toys, as I've shown above. Helps with the budget and with storage. I hope this helps |

A very warm welcome love. Ours like tunnels and tubes to run in and out of but they spend just as much time in their cuddle-cups LOL!! Please tell us what you decide to buy for your babies.
Hugs

We already have some tunnels, some pigloos,, some bendy sticks, a pop up tent, a hutch man outdoor shelter, a grass house, some whicker balls to chew and a guinea pig sleeping bag.
I'm thinking of buying a soft tunnel and cuddle cup for the hutch and maybe a cross wooden hide out I've seen on ebay.

Soft tunnels get soiled and chewed into oblivion pretty quickly. Hard objects are chew toys as well as hidies or tunnels.

I cut a soda box in half and Crowley loves running through it! I put some hay on the bottom and he just naps there and has a good old time!
He also had a holder, it's a tortilla holder but now he uses it as a sitting place when we go drive or he's waiting for his cage to be cleaned!

My boys love any food box with the ends removed specially soda boxes. The pigloo I'd also a hit. I find that tunnels are their favorites.
I used to give them toilet paper rolls but I've moved them to a larger space and they don't chew like they used to.

Jo, do you find them peeing on the teddy? How do you keep them clean?

I must be lucky love because Teddy isn't peed on. He goes in the washing machine quite often but he isn't wet when we take him out to clean.
