Jane, they actuall did come from B&Q. There was a big bin of oddments and they were all 10p or 25p. You could try your local plumber and see if he has any offcuts, or even look in on a building site and ask if they have any bits lying around. Look in skips outsite houses being renovated etc. Be a womble and scavenge!
the best toys i have ever bought are called turrets and chu tubes. they are basically thick cardboard and cost less than £2. i have 7 hamsters and 5 gerbils, and everyone uses them. as a matter of fact all bar 1 hamster and 1 gerbil are asleep in one of them i have a constant supply because they do get chewed but it's far safer than plastic
it's a shame they don't make them in larger sizes because i know my chinchillas would love them
I have a chube for my hammie and they make some really large enough for chinchillas. I saw some at the pet store with them and they were going through them with ease. here's a link:
