What Size Plastic Pipe is good for caves? I wanna make sure it's big enough to be safe for them not to get stuck in. I wanted to check the size before going to lowes to get a piece. I think it's a nifty hideaway.

I don't know of any exact sizes but I would go for something a little bigger than them so they can fit through it.

You'd want to go with like 4'' abs or bigger. Depends on how big your guinea pig is. Haha, for once working at a hardware store came in handy for me lol!

Sarge loves his pvc tunnels. He gets mad when Lt. Dan uses them, so he moves them closer to the pigloo. But yeah, go with 4" minimum. Sarge JUST fits perfectly (with enough room to lay down and run through it), but he's my li'l fatty. He isn't as fond of the curved ones as he is the straight ones, though, because the curved ones tend to move more when he's not expecting it.
