Guinea pigs are fatter than ferrets. Their tunnels have to be wider. You can make tunnels from cardboard boxes.

If you use round tunnels, they need to be at least six inches in diameter. Someone gave me some five-inch ones, and my pigs quickly outgrew them.

I use the boxes from 12 packs of soda :) I just cut out the handhold part so it's big enough for them to squeeze through and open both ends. My pigs love it!

My boys LOVE their tunnel. I just bought them another to keep in their run out in the man cave, but the coke box sounds like a good idea!

They tend to destroy it within a couple days, but it isn't hard to find more :) When I buy soda or I ask friends/family for their boxes. I have a small stockpile because of course they can't be without one.

100_0506 (Medium).jpgBent grids for tunnels and drain pipe. but if you get drian pipe get the pipe with the holes encase they get stuck they have lots of air until you save them. You can also cut fully across the bottom of the pipe so they never get stuck.
