How do you keep your pigs amused?

[hayleyface]

Does anyone else love how easy it is to keep your pigs entertained? At the moment Ginny and Henwin have three large tubes in their cage. As soon as they tire of them, simply rotate slightly and they go mental! NEW TOYS, OH MY GOD!

I especially love mixing things up by standing a tube up. They will run circles round it trying to figure out what the hell happened and how they get in. Sometimes you'll hear a dull *THUMP* and then some scattering.. Then a few seconds later clucking and laps.

Do you guys find your pigs reactions similar? What do you do to keep them (and yourselves) entertained? :p

i have a toy/ bed rotation. Some days they have snoozies and tunnels or cuddle cups and log cabins...i like to hide hay in tubes or hang from top of cage. I try and change layout every few days when i clean...aprox 3-4 days. I also have a mixture or toys for free range time... :-)

Add a brown paper bag to their cage and there will be much popcorning, squealing, zoomies and rumbling.

Nothing beats a good paper bag for my boys and thankfully I get one with everything I order from our local Indian takeaway.... how very convenient

We always have a weekly change of fleecy hideys etc too and there is a pop up tunnel and climbing platform in the kitchen for floor time but mainly they prefer to climb on the units/destroy stuff

paper bags are awesome, aren't they?! I love stuffing tubes full of fresh grass. Have got a funny little video of Ginny nose-deep in tube forcing it around the cage desperate to get something out lol.

You may find the toy thread in our new Daily Care section interesting!

We use sections of piping which our three girls love,it only takes a slight change in position and they are oober excited once again .
They love boxes of any description and when we load the hutch with hay it is pushed around the hutch as they bury themselves under it all .
Great fun to watch .
