I dont know if this is the right place to put this but I was just wondering what sort of toys piggies like that i can find around the house because I cant get to a pet shop until the weekend.
 
Mine seem to like toilet roll tubes stuffed with hay.

Hope this is the sort of thing you are looking for!
 
toilet rolls or paper bags stuffed with hay are a great way to entertain them. i also drape tea towels over and between their shelters so they have extra places to hide and explore. and you can't beat a nice big shoe box with loads of doors/windows :)
 
Old towels, tea towels, bath mats etc make excellent places for burrowing under, hiding behind if pegged to the side of the cage etc.

Otherwise use Laura's thread and have a snoop round our "reference" section where we have a collection of good and informative threads over the most often asked questions and problems!
 
My little gal's love to play with "toys"... They love to push willow balls around their cage and then nibble away at them. Too cute when they have chewed most of it up and they give you that look saying "Why can't I push this thing around anymore?".

Also, hanging bird toys have become a staple. Anything they can pull at and rip apart makes them very happy piggies. Hazel LOVES anything with bells. She rings the bell with her nose and then popcorns around like crazy x)

And the MOST favorite toy is the Chube... hours and hours of fun just running back and forth through it... and of course nibbling away at it.
 
when you do go to the shop to buy, i bought mine the ball you can stuff with hay or goodies with a bell on it they love it :) also a mirror (bird mirror i think its stainless steel so cant be broken no worry about glass ect) they love that too the vain lot lol!
trio of balls willow ect i got all of the above for mine from p@h
but in the mean time you cant beat a good old haystack of hay mine go nuts when its piled up like that lol
 
Ours love their hayball, but also like an old kids shape sorter, I took the lid off so it is just a large old tunnel and I sometimes leave it empty for themto play in or I stuff it with hay and treats. Tissue boxes are another favourite, egg boxes with some food inside, they throw them everywhere to get the food out. But their favourite is a huge pile of hay :)
 
My girls absoulutely LOVE shoe boxes with a piggy-shaped hole cut in to get in. They are really really quite versatile! You can have one hole so it is completely enclosed and then you can choose to have that hole on the shorter or the longer end. you can have two holes on each of the long ends or two on each the short ends so it's like a tunnel. You can actually do so much with shoeboxes I tend to have one of each so I have all the different combinations and it's quite stimulating for them to get two different ones every time I change the cage out. I juts keep rotating through them and the girls love it!
