Piggy Pals

We got a free Oxbow toy set with a recent purchase. There was a wicker ball, a cardboard wheel, and a hay twist wrapped in paper. I wasn't sure if the piggies would like it or not because they usually don't care about manufactured toys and just prefer the cardboard box they came in 🤣
But I figured they're free so they can play with them while we're watching them. (I'm super cautious with any toys. Even though I trust the Oxbow brand, you can't be too careful). Anyway, one at a time each of the piggies had a chance to check out the toys. They didn't care about the ball or the wheel, but they really liked the hay twist wrapped in paper and over the course of an afternoon they took turns mauling it like it had to be killed before eaten. :yikes:

So since they liked it so much I bought one for each piggy because I knew - I KNEW - as soon as I put it in the cage and allowed free play one toy would not be enough. I thought I had out-smarted them, but oh-no, no, no. It didn't matter that there was one for each because I just watched Sandy and Penny play what appeared to be a piggy-sized game of tug-of-war with what I can only assume was the best of the two identical toys. :doh:

As I'm writing this post they've already sorted out who gets to play with the best one - for today anyway, lol.

Even though that one over there is EXACTLY the same as the one you're playing with, I want the one your playing with because it is clearly much better than that one over there. If you've got it, I want it. What's yours is mine and what's mine is my own!

Piggy mentality!:doh:
 
2 of my girls enjoy playing with wicker balls, hay balls or those rope balls. I buy a pack of 8 and replace them as needed. I didn’t think they’d care at first but my biggest chunk Galadriel grabs and tosses them aswell as she drags them into her hut and naps next to them.
You can’t be too careful but so far I’ve had nothing but good experiences with all oxbow products as far as safety.

Is chippy a boy or a girl?

Chippy is a girl. We have five piggies: a group of two and a trio. All females. :luv:

:nod: same in this house, pinch your mates food and hide in a hidey until it's all gone. While your mate polishes off the identical bit that was given to you that you dropped in your excitment at getting one over on him. :))

So accurate! Lol!
 
Just replaced the hay. Sandy is always so excited to jump into the fresh hay that she can't wait until I'm done so she ends up diving into a tiny handful.

Here's a pic of when I'm done and they have a nice big pile

Sorry forgot to update on Lilly. After a little over an hour Lilly finally peed. Her urinalysis was completed at the vet today. They're making an adjustment to her medication regime but it should help reduce the calcium crystals so that will be good. Lilly was very well behaved while hanging out in the plastic tub. :)
