This is the larger homemade play tube I made with a half file folder and a looser roll. One of the smaller rolls is visible in the upper right for comparison. These tubes hold their shape remarkably well -- probably longer than it will take your hamster to destroy them! If not, a little squeeze can restore their shape as a play tube.
