Yeah, I make them stuff~ I don't sell anything - just started to make things for my piggies. First time I ever used the sewing machine my aunt gave me (haha) so I'm still a noob - I've made them some fleece liners - but they ended up being too small (forgot to account for seam allowance) - so I just use them on the bottom and cover it with a long piece of fleece for now :D

I'm hoping to get better at this as I make things. I bought WAYYYYYYY too much fleece (I got too excited) - so now I gotta figure out what I want to make and just get the motivation to make it.

Here are the amazon links to the few things I bought them. I'm sorry I didn't include it in my original post!

That's ok! Links/no links. Just like talking to other guinea owners. :) It's good that you have the perseverance to give it a go! So creative. I always have these big ideas about making things but unfortunately I would have difficulty finding the time.

I always make my boys Christmas crackers filled with hay and forage out of toilet roll tubes and brown paper as well they usually love those more than their actual presents.

They tend to like the inexpensive stuff. :) The forage toilet rolls are brilliant, I stuff mine with hay and hide pea flakes in them.

Naughty piggies!🤣 Are they liking it? I haven't tried the hay cube yet but I'm hearing good things about it! Veggiesare always popular I see!

I think it's more naughty me getting excited about deliveries, can't help myself! I love to see my piggies popcorning in piggy heaven- dried plantain leaves, dandelions, dried apple chunks and the oat grass are definite winners with the boys!

:D We all love to see our guineas popcorning so I don't blame you! :D I haven't tried dried plantain, I might give those a go. :)

I don't tend to buy things for my piggies at Christmas as they already have far more stuff than they need. However, i do donate to a couple of guinea pig rescues as they usually need things for their piggies, especially over the winter and due to Covid meaning that a lot of them currently have no income from adoption fees / Christmas Fairs, etc.

Then putting some clean towels in one of there boxes and find a tube that just the same. . Dopy Dave. Lol

At least you have a spare tube now! :D

You've got to love a cardboard box. My pigs are loving the fact that shops are shut and I have to do all my Christmas shopping through Amazon 🤣

My current piggies seem not that keen of eating/munching cardboard boxes, unlike my previous piggies! I haven't replaced their 3 boxes for a long time. I stopped saving the Amazon boxes coz I've still got enough.
 
I saw this box of cat treats in ASDA today that comes with a really cute Christmas toy for piggies. My boys love the snowman ones I got them last year sadly you can't get it without the cat treats making it a bit to expensive for in our cat free home but if you have a cat this could be a good gift for all your pets
