Holes are easily fixed with a screw on chew toy or a nut, bolt and washer if the chew toy would be in the way.

The plumbing department of a DIY store has suitable tubes but the tube kit from p@h would be too small for a Syrian. You could get the rat tunnel from p@h though which is clear and rigid.
I like the look of the rat tubing, it's large and transparent.

The only thing they sell near me is this
Just a moment...

Reviews say that it has been chewed through before though.

How would you even connect things like this to the bin cage?
