Anyone need some cardboard tubes?

I have six of the buggers (dlab7.com deliver their large prints in tubes rather than flat-packed, 8 or 9 per tube and when you order a few, you get loads of tubes - but still only pay 50p for p&p).

They are quite sturdy, have removable plastic caps on both ends, diameter is 8cm, length 35cm.
I guess these would be of interest to the regular ebayers among you.

Someone on freecycle in Manchester was asking for them a while ago as gerbil chewing things - do you know any gerbil owners?

No but they'd be wasted. They'd be really good for posting stuff that needs to be protected from damage.

*nods* Just thinking that it's a good alternative to chucking them...

You also could build one of those tube castles for hamsters etc. from them. :o)

Hammie castle! My sister had a rotastack with a hamster in, and the first day we got it, Sam, the cat, broke the tubes open and ate Carpet's ears. He lived to be 8 years old!

His ears? I guess he was lucky...
