It's looking great so far! I'm sure they both love playing in there.

Looking great! I might have to steal a few of your ideas hehe. Question for you, what kind of tubing is that? I've been trying to find some clear tubing as well but all I've come up with so far is the Marshall's tru-way.. I would prefer to avoid supporting Marshall's if at all possible. Those plastic pieces on the ends are great too! In the mean time I've been using some drainage tubes from home depot but they're not transparent and pretty stiff.

@orocha, Thank You! You are more than welcomed to "steal" some ideas! That is why I posted them here. I have two different types of tubes/tunnels. Some are the Marshall's Thru-way. Those with the colored ends are Kaytee Ferretrail Flex-E Fun-nels. We took the end off of one of them and connected one of the Thru-ways because the Thru-ways have no ends, but are longer. By doing this we were able to get enough tubing to fit the frame we made. We used the Kaytee ones to access their bed buckets.

You're very welcome! And thanks for the info! I might just go ahead with the kaytee ones, those connectors are just too awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of your project.

I'll be re-doing the ferrets room in the next week or so, and I am going to do a pvc frame tunnel maze. I was thinking of using duct tape to connect the tubes, but those look more secure. Also, how are you anchoring and suspending the tubes? I had thought zip-ties, but would love to hear what you do. Looks awesome!

joseph, Yes. We had no trouble connecting the Marshall and Kaytee products. We used a simple twine to secure the tubes at the openings, otherwise the framework and tubing itself holds it.
