Hi all, Ok, I'll admit it, I'm cheap. When I saw the Tornado toy I wanted one for my kids, but the price was out of my budget. So, off to the hardware store I went to make my own. (sorry, hope there's no copy write problems). Ok, to make it costs more than to buy it! Geez, what's a mom to do. I turned to leave, disappointed but not totally giving up yet. There, in front of me is ferret heave! 100' of black corregated sewer hose! It's light, it has vent holes, and it's in a huge roll. Best of all, it's only $22.50!!!! I took it home and immediately lost all five ferrets. I could hear them scratching and running, but where were they? LOL What fun. I just love it, and so do they. You can put it into endless shapes, attach it to PVC pipes, tie it in knots, whatever. What a great toy for financially challenged owners. (umm, that would be ALL of us).
