Go to Pet Samrt/ Pets At Home and pick up some tube they use for filter systems on Fish Tanks. It's about 30p a metre and fits perfectly.

Off the top of my head I think I used the clutch hose of the midget, which would make it arround 3.5mm.

Just looked, 3.5mm (ish, its probably imperial) but that pretty rigid, so 2mm if it rubber.
