I have just purchased a two tier cage for my boys and I will get them two igloos to go in it. They have a hammock and a pop up tent, and I will also get them a tunnel. They also have two balls with bells inside and a mirror to admire themselves. I am interested to know what other piggies have in their cages to keep them entertained?
 
Don't think there is much we haven't tried for our lot but too much stuff can take up a lot of room.
Ours have two storey home built C&C pens and have a hay tray, fiddlesticks hideys, little beds and a palm tree cozy - plenty of running room as the levels are both 6ft long. It's the little nic nacs that make it their home - we have a tropical beach hut theme so have lots of bright colours mixed with leopard/zebra print faux fur things accessories.
 
here's a shopping list for you ;) mine's a two teired cage too, they have a tunnel ramp from cosy cavies to help them up and down the ramp http://www.cosycavies.co.uk/

and this one too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Superpet-...482?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19c69b5eaa
and wooden hangy thigs to gnaw on for their teeth http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Natural-G...et_Supplies_Small_Animals&hash=item20ba86e278
i swap things round to keep them interested and it's amazing to se how a new toy can make them popcorn away :) hope that all helps, you'll be spending half your wage on ebay! haha! x
 
Igloo, water bottle that they play with, card board tube, random cardboard, plastic ball with a golfball inside
 
My girls have plastic stools covered over the top with a fleece, they make great hideys and sometimes the girls pull the fleeces off and snuggle into them. They also have tunnels, a cozy cuddle cup, some jingly toys and chubes.
 
I use a variety of things with my guys, mainly food based rolleyes

They have...

Balls to roll around to get food out
Balls with bells in (They get quite violent throwing them about!)
boxes/tubes etc stuffed with hay - with tubes, ill put something smelly like parsley in the middle, then stuff hay around it so they have to work for it and such
The metal balls on a chain that hang down, I stuff them with leafy veg, they go mad for them
Lettuce clips - can get them from aquarium type places, I just have them cable tied up, so that I can suspend veg for them, its all just about giving them different ways of giving them their food.

They also have their pigloos, cosies, tunnels etc :)

I think the most important thing, is mixing it up for them. Alternate things around, they're less likely to get bored :))
 
I've got three cages of piggies, two for 5 sows, and 1 for my trio of boars

They all have at least two balls with bells inside (Fermi loves carrying it around with her teeth!) Each of the sows cages has at least 2 hidey houses. The boars have one large house with three compartments for each to sleep in and a plastic stool. They also each have a cozy cup. I also have one wire ball with a bell that I stuff full of hay. Since I only have one of those, I switch it between cages every week or so.

oooh so much stuff to buy - damn you ebay!
 
yeah mine like paper bags, they climb in them and crinkle them, mine have toys with bells in too, but they're only for play time, i got sick of listening to them on a night time jingling them about! i'm an ebay addict, i spend half my wage buying toys for the animals! the piggy palace is such a gorgeous site too x
 
yeah I found the piggy palace the other day - brilliant.
I also spend all my money on my animals (a dog as well), they're my babies :-)
I have started to make my own toys for them though - to save on a bit of money. Gonna give them a paper bag too - thanks for that idea.
 
i stuff empty loo roll tubes with hay aswell, and socks, they like to drag them about and get the hay out and stuff x
