So i have a very large cage & two piggies share it.Is there anything i can make or do that would be fun for them or entertain them ( i have tried rope toys but which they seem to dislike a lot )
To make some toys for them, you could get a paper towel roll and pack it tightly with hay. Believe it or not, piggies will spend hours tugging it out! Also, you could get some toys with a bell on it, just make sure that you take it off at night if someone is sleeping near them! (I'm not entirely sure how safe those are, though. Maybe look it up?) I bought my guinea pigs a roll-around toy that makes noise, and they loved it! You could also make little paper bags that your piggies can hide in. (Keep in mind, your piggies may eat it.) You could also hang treats from their cage roof, and they will keep trying to get at them! It's very cute to watch. Or, you could simply add a few wood chews in their cage, if your piggies like to nibble! Make sure anything you get has no small parts or is in any way toxic to guinea pigs. (Ink, coloring, ect.)
Paper bags rule! Mine just love paper bags to jump in and out of, sleep in (fill with hay) and chew. They are great at origami ;-) Also cardboard boxes, particularly wine boxes from the supermarket. Again, guineas spend a lot of time and effort on interior design of cardboard boxes!
Cardboard boxes with doors and windows cut out. Mine love running in and out of them and between them newspaper tents go down well too. They run around like maniacs underneath the newspaper, though they do also enjoy ripping it up. Basically anything they can run in and out of, underneath or through!
