Does anyone have a play mirror type toy in their cage?

Angus is obsessed with mirrors... he spends ages looking at himself in reflections in a trophy we have on the fireplace and stretches up to look at them. I tried putting a mirrored tile out where he could look at it and he loved that too so thinking of buying him a parrot toy mirror for his christmas.

Anyone else come across a good mirror toy? Or pigs that enjoy them?
 
:)) First time, I've heard of that. But if I was as x) as Angus, I look at myself in a mirror all day! :))
 
I put a budgies mirror in our girls cage-I have actually seen them looking at themselves in it (mind you they are rather beautiful!).It also has a bell on which I hear jingle every now and then.

Your girls are beautiful! I think I might have to get him one. Only problem is Hamish will just bash into it... Funnily enough looking at himself isn't high on his agenda. He prefers fuzzy cosy things.
 
I always know when my Girls are having a tiff off because the mirror bell jangles like crazy.
 
Most of mine get bored with a mirror pretty quickly. But occasionally, I bring out our old bathroom mirror.
 
I've never tried... but that does give me a great idea for a Christmas present for them!
 
Our piglets get their floor time in the conservatory and when it gets dark enough they can see their reflections - Cash is fascinated by his! He stands up against it, checks it out from the side etc. I've always wanted to get a picture of it but can never get a decent enough one with my rubbishy phone!

My boars never seemed fussed when I put them infront of the mirror!
 
Mine dont have mirrors in their cage but a couple of wheeks ago Candy ran out her cage across to a mirror which goes right down to floor level.... checked herself out in it and licked her reflection ! I thought it was very strange / funny :))
