Hello and welcome! There are so many options available for hides out there as long as you do some looking around. As many people have already said, rat toys work best for Syrians size wise so always check those out. Someone here already mentioned bendy bridges, these are great toys and can be used is many unique ways which makes them fairly cool, those plastic igloos you see can be alright if they're not chewed and you ensure there's no moisture build up in them. Another idea is a homemade hide out of things such as popsicle sticks (like said above) but using UNTREATED PINE and safe glue (or wood joints such as Mortis and tenon and dovetail if you're more skilled) can work to make a cheap and simple hut, or even several. Something else that's very cheap is a cardboard box such as a shoebox, but these can look a bit low quality so if you're looking for a nice hide what I've said before works better. Can't wait until I hear about your soon-to-be little one and hope you two have many happy years together!
