Mailing Tubes

Hi there, I'm sure I'm not the first one to post this, but thought I'd share that I bought a tube from UPS (shipping store) that was about 48" (122cm) long and 3" (7.62cm) wide. I cut it up into 6 pieces. I like it because you can decide how long you want the tube(s) to be. I have about a 48" PVC pipe that is also 3" wide but I don't really want to try and cut that. lol

Very inventive, thank you, I will have to try this. I am not very imaginative so I rely on posts like this one

Glad you like it, thank you. I was at that store because we had to mail documents and the tube was calling my name. lol

What a great idea! Hammies just love running in and out of tubes.

[Esmy]

Thanks! They did seem to enjoy having more to run in and out of. i put one in Wicket's cage and buried it and he ran through it.

Why does Penny look so tiny!? Lol! I need to find me some of those tubes, the boys LOVE TUBES OMG.

[Esmy]

Lol it's a big playpen and I had to stand back to get it with my phone. lol I wonder how I could join the tubes with a corner to make a bend?

The one with duct tape is the pvc pipe.

... Oooh funnnn. I mentioned your coroplast playpen to my SO and he just stared at me and sighed. Apparently my boys will have to make do with their cardboard boxes for playtimes. :P

[Esmy]

Lol well it's similar to cardboard as far as bending it and such. More durable though. It's just easy to clean so it lasts longer! Well, I imagine that mostly applies to having a bottom. The sides don't seem to get dirty. Can't argue with cardboard if it works and it's free.

Yeah, we use it for artifacts in museums so I'm familiar with it. He just wouldn't know where to store it, as we're already a little strapped for space. But I'd love some more tubes. Tubes tubes tubes so many tubes.
