Aww bless they look like they are having too much fun! :)
 
easily pleased! pheobe's in there with ruby now and maggie-may and bethany are popcorning and running around. soooo sweet! but they deserved a treat as they had their last injections today. x
 
Awww thats so sweet! I often put something new in their cages, even brown paper bags stuffed with hay becomes their fave thing to do for hours :))
 
awww so cute xoxoxoxo

I put an empty paper bag in with mine, spike loves to go to sleep in it! :))
 
Here's Ruby enjoying the shoe box

That looks really fun .... I love the shoe box lid as a food bowl. At least the woodshavings etc. don't get onto the veg and fruit.

I have cardboard tubes stuffed with hay in my hutches.

Who said you had to pay lots for play things, eh? :))
 
you don't at all! they do have "real" food bowls too, but they seem to enjoy the lid! and pheobe makes a right mess with the bowls as she is a little digger! x
 
Mine have separate food bowls for their dried food and their veg etc.
Their veg bowl is a trendly black and white rectangle one from Asda that would love very nice on my dining room table at meal times! :))

I will give the cardboard box a go because they have a 5ft x 2ft hutch each ... yes, poor hubby has now made three of them. xx>>>
 
I just got some fabulous photos of Pheobe digging! Will have to post as soon as they're uploaded to photobucket!
 
have you ever seen a piggy dive into their food before like our Pheebs?

thank you! they always have prefered the cardbord box type houses over the shop bought ones! for about a month bethany and maggie-may had a paper bag from lush filled with hay, I just kept on turning it twice a day so it could dry out, it was still a complete bag but with a few holes when I finally chucked it. Man were they cross when I got rid of it! Anyone tried theirs with a fabric shopping bag? Does that work if you fill it with hay I wonder?
 
My boys just love boxes, trouble is, they prefered to sit on top of them! Which means they have to be changed frequently( gets abit manky!)

I think they just like to lay on something smooth, who knows!{:|:)){:|

Gorgeous piggies by the way xx^)
 
they are my little adorable princesses! they are spoilt,but now i've found a way of doing it cheaply!
